Welcome to Episode 44 of Carpe Diem Sailing, in this episode I go over coming about or tacking single handed. I demonstrate the manoeuvre with and without an auto pilot. One point to keep in mind is that I am only dealing with the headsail since when coming about from close hauled to close hauled th...
It's been a LONG TWO YEARS at times, and we're finding ourselves WORN DOWN and a little weary of the demands of this crazy life. Can a couple months in a marina help us to hit the RESET button and get us mentally prepared for the next leg of our journey? Lots of luxuries are now at our d...
As a BATTERY threatens to EXPLODE and TWO TROPICAL STORMS approach our marina in PUERTO RICO, we start to ponder the LUCKY vs. GOOD proposition. We try our best to be "good" - to make good decisions, prepare, sail conservatively, etc., knowing we don't always get it right. But so fa...
Sailing from Wrightsville Beach to Beaufort, NC was smooth - almost too smooth. And then we encountered the U.S. Military offshore! The experience was great, and the 80NM trip was perfect!

Welcome to Episode 43 of Carpe Diem Sailing, in this episode I discuss and demonstrate how to use a snubber on a combined anchor rode. Traditionally snubbers are used on chain rodes but for the reasons I talk about in the video I also like to use a snubber on a combined rode.

We're usually about LESS RULES in this lifestyle, but there's ONE we really try to stick to. But as we RUSH around the NORTHERN COAST of Puerto Rico, in and out of AMAZING anchorages and towns to make it to our HURRICANE SEASON safe haven, we find ourselves breaking it to bits. But some ...
Sailing the UNBEATEN Path AND the WRONG WAY during hurricane season means we're truly ALONE out here much of the time. And some of our destinations have little to no information for us to go on. But we strike just the same and make as good of decisions as possible...hoping luck stays with us....
Welcome to Episode 42 of Carpe Diem Sailing, in this episode I analyze a tricky single handed departure which produced a lot of critical feedback when the original video aired a few weeks ago. I discuss the manoeuvre and the pros and cons of springing off in such a situation as well as the decision ...
REVERSE CULTURE SHOCK. After 2 1/2 years OFF the GRID, we find ourselves immersed in CROWDS and CITY LIFE for the first time since the onset of THE GLOBAL CRISIS whose NAME SHALL NOT BE SPOKEN. And while enjoying all the amenities that SAN JUAN has to offer, we're feeling truly overwhelmed by...
The question always weighed heavily on our minds: what would we do if we experienced a medical emergency while sailing offshore? Out in the middle of the ocean you're all alone. There is no one to come rescue you.
In this video, we talk about all the things we did to prepare for the nightmar...
Welcome to Episode 41 of Carpe Diem Sailing. In this episode I review a revolutionary new piece of marine safety gear. The SeeArch is meant to be worn on the body, in addition to a pfd and in the event of a man overboard situation it will provide visibility, buoyancy and a method of recovery. It com...
Sailing the daunting NORTH COAST of PUERTO RICO en route to SAN JUAN (our favorite Caribbean city as it turns out) we think back to our ORIGINAL plans for our sailing life. We intended to move to the east coast of PR and sail our former boat, LAYLA, here, rent a house, and make this our center of e...

Joel and Michal of 6 days ago are gone forever.
They've been replaced by two weathered sailors, hardened by this test of endurance, and proud to have proven themselves against the ocean.
The End of one journey is just the Beginning of another... sta...
Well, we're in AMAZING PUERTO RICO. We haven't been to the US in OVER 2 YEARS, but now it's starting to feel like WE'RE BACK! Puerto Rico has a hugely diverse landscape and culture, so it's easy to forget sometimes that it's part of the United States. As we finally m...
Welcome to Episode 40 of Carpe Diem Sailing, the first in a new series on single handing. In this episode I start off by discussing various concepts relevant to single handing in general and then go over raising the mainsail. The concepts are important and will only be covered in this, the premier e...
Even though sometimes SIMPLE THINGS are NOT SO SIMPLE, we do our best to EMBRACE the simple life....and USUALLY succeed. This week we celebrate the Captain's birthday in perfect simple sailing life style - lots of wing foil time in a perfect anchorage, a cake and some good food, and time toget...
So we're IN the HURRICANE ZONE this season and after ONE DAY in CULEBRA, our decision is already being tested with TROPICAL STORM ELSA. We think we have a plan in order, but Elsa causes us to scramble, eventually running and hiding in the tropical paradise of Culebrita. Completely alone at th...
We are hot and sweaty and can't wait to cool off with a cold one. We take Nora for her first sail on a monohull, assist a vessel with an engine down in a crowded anchorage, fix our fridge, and enjoy cold beverages at sunset.
Join us in the island paradise of Carriacou for some real life sailin...
Welcome to Episode 39 of Carpe Diem Sailing. I'm back on my regular posting schedule and in this episode I go over the navigational aids systems in IALA Region A and B. I also dispel the rule of thumb of "Red Right Returning" which only works in half the world and in very specific si...
This year we're NOT heading to GRENADA. Instead we're pointed to PUERTO RICO, which is of course very much in the HURRICANE BELT. WHY? you may ask? Well, we know IT'S A RISK. but it's a calculated one and we definitely have our reasons. This week we explain why as we wrap up ...
