Conversations that we need to have as long-term cruisers
A recent conversation with someone close to me who received a life-saving organ transplant made me realise how little many of us understand about organ donation—and how important it is that the people we love know exactly what we want. Living and sailing overseas, Scott and I prepare Sea Moon for e...
Pink and Blue Jobs on a boat :How do we divide the workload and why
Who does what when you live and sail together 24/7? And what happens when the person who normally does a job suddenly can’t?

The Night I Almost Lost the Keel (and Why I Quit Deliveries)
In 2014, I delivered a Beneteau First 47.7 from the Bahamas to Cartagena. Somewhere in the Caribbean, 150 miles offshore, I found myself ankle-deep in water, crew vacuuming the bilge in the dark, batteries dead, no GPS, no autopilot. I didn't know at the time how close we were to losing the kee...

Why I’ll Never Trust a “Performance” Boat Again | Sailing Truth Show
I was in the middle of a delivery on a Farr 47.7, when the bilge pump went off... What followed was an insane story that nearly killed me. I'll NEVER take another 'performance' production boat offshore. In this episode of the Sailing Truth Show, I’m sharing the full, documented sto...
Broken diesel engine. Forced to hip tie the dinghy to push us into the travel lift.
After a painfully slow crossing of the Sea of Cortez, we made it to Guaymas! We pushed with the dinghy way more then we wanted to. We were pretty nervous using the dinghy to push us into the travel lift. It ended up going well and being no big deal. It seems the mental anxiety is usually worse ...

Why are we driving around in the bed of a truck in Mexico? Our solar panel broke.
Most of our power generation comes from our solar panels. They sit there quietly everday providing us with electricity we need for our modern lives. One of them failed, we lost 40 percent of our output! No worries, find a solar panel store, ride in the bed of a truck, just like I did as a kid, loa...
Gentleman don’t sail upwind!! It was a great sail!
Don't ever forget to close the toilet vent!! We try not to sail upwind very often. It's fun for a while, but it comes with its own sets of problems. The boat heels a lot, stuff ends up everywhere, the boat is usually a disaster after wards. You would think that we would learn! We hope...
How People ACTUALLY Make Money While Cruising (No BS)
Most people don’t give up on cruising because of weather, boats, or seamanship. They give up because they can’t figure out the money.

Sailing Truth Show: Why Balance Beats Strength on a Sailboat
Most people think surviving storms offshore is about having a strong boat. Heavier. Tougher. Overbuilt. It’s not. Offshore seamanship is the art of keeping a boat in balance—aerodynamically, structurally, and mentally. When a boat is balanced, energy stays manageable. When it’s not, energy builds ...
