🌴 Island hopping through the USVI brought us from the busy streets of Charlotte Amalie on St. Thomas to the wild beauty of St. John… and what an adventure it turned into.
We wandered the steep chaotic roads of Charlotte Amalie (definitely not the most pedestrian-friendly place 😅), got rescued with ...
This week our family is in remote Fiji! We are seeing true PARADISE. Off-the-beaten-track, no tourists, all-to-ourselves-type-of-place with blue water, tropical islands, pristine beaches, and village life. Let me pinch myself. I don't know how we will ever leave.
To God be the glory!

We took a break from full-time boat life to explore South Africa in a completely different way — chasing waves, meeting incredible people, and stepping into our first ever surf competition.
From the coastline of Jeffreys Bay to the rugged cliffs of Gansbaai and the energy of Cape Town, this became ...
Our sail from Puerto Rico to the US Virgin Islands started off absolutely perfect… warm winds, beautiful seas, and another unforgettable Caribbean passage aboard SV Wildly Intrepid. But once we arrived in St. Thomas, things got interesting fast.
We explored the abandoned tunnels of Fort Segarra on ...

Sailing Big Lost departs Santa Cruz in the Galapagos to begin a 3,000-nautical-mile Pacific crossing to the Marquesas following final rigging checks and hikes.
What started as a simple sail turned into a full-on emergency…
As we left Vieques, a hose clamp suddenly snapped—dumping all our engine coolant in seconds. With no engine and two little ones onboard, we had no choice but to drop anchor fast and figure things out.
From there, we sail on to Culebra—...
WE HAVE BEEN KEEPING A SECRET!! We have some EXCITING NEWS....
If we wind back the clock and look at everything that’s unfolded over the past 12 months… it’s been one hell of a ride...What started as a simple need to extend our visas and leave South Africa, quickly turned into a challenging chain ...
Not every stop is planned… and sometimes those are the best ones.
We dropped anchor in Puerto Patillas, Puerto Rico and were blown away. A peaceful anchorage, a waterfront park with a playground (perfect for homeschooling days), live music, and even iguanas roaming around—it quickly became one of t...

We replaced the motor.
We tried a deep water drop.
We even swapped the c...

Not every sailing day goes to plan… and this one REALLY didn’t 😅
We kick things off with a beautiful, calm sail past Cabo Rojo Lighthouse—one of the most stunning coastlines in Puerto Rico. But from there… things start to unravel.
We anchor in La Parguera hoping to experience the famous biolumines...
How important is an engine alignment and how do you do it?
I couldn’t be happier with how this engine refit has come together. What was once a tired old engine room has been completely transformed. Fresh white bilge, crisp shiny new insulation, a refurbished generator and at the heart of it all, t...
