This is it! We’re off to The Bahamas…or so we plan. After last minute provisioning, we leave Marathon and set sail to cross the Gulf Stream. Even though we’re making good time, beating to windward takes its toll, and we decide to call an audible. For...
After a month in Marathon, we’re nearly finished with our DIY bimini. With just a few more finishing touches, including modifications for the backstay, the radar pole, and the solar panels, we’ll be ready to take off to The Bahamas.
While in Boot Key ...
When you live on a boat you need a variety of different tools, from multimeters, to pex crimping tools, from jigsaws to rivet guns, and probably at least 3 or 4 powered sanding devices...... but this one tool is arguably one of the more versatile tools you...
If you think we have this whole life thing figured out, don’t let us fool you! We constantly feel like we’re never getting enough done, that we’re falling behind, and that life is moving too quickly. Anyone else feel like it’s a struggle to find ba...
The water is so close now we can smell it. After trailering Soulianis out of our landlocked boatyard, she’s now poised and ready for launch — right after we finish painting the centerboard with bottom paint.
The launch goes well at first. No leaks, a...
Remember the horrible arch saga? Well, we’re officially putting an end to that chapter… and nope, we didn’t hire another contractor — instead we decided to build a bimini ourselves.
The reason we hired out the job in the first place was because w...

This week we got hauled out for the second time in six months for anti fouling. Sisu is getting gelcoat repairs. We used the opportunity to perform a full service on Sisu and Tippex's engines and Petro gets a change to use the Sailrite to fix our stack pac...
I attempt some sewing repairs before heading around the west side of Molokai. Along the way I struggle with light winds and a 15 mile passage takes 10 hours. Entering the harbor at night I can hear big breaking waves on either side of me as a weave through...

This week we share why we chose the Sailrite Sewing Machine as being our trusty companion on our sailing expeditions into the unknown, besides being pretty frikken heavy . . . . . it is undoubtedly the most robust piece of machinery we've encountered. To...
After cancelling the South-Pacific crossing, I decided to sail North before the hurricane season. I really enjoyed singlehanding the Sea of Cortez way more than I was expecting. On this episode, you'll get to see what sailing Mexico is all about and get to...
This video continues on from episode 72 as we finish our trip to Marathon, Florida. We found ourselves motoring through calm seas with little to no wind as we passed under the Seven Mile Bridge and made our way into Boot Key Harbor. We knew this destinatio...
Desiree shows us her process of sewing the ultimate wind scoop for our cruising sailboat and bangs out a couple other urgent sewing projects. We luck out by getting an opportunity to house sit an incredible property in the Rio Dulce with dock space for Att...
In this episode, we built our own headsail from a Sailrite kit while being in Mexico. This is not really a tutorial, but mostly to give you a small idea of what it entails to tackle a similar project. After spending 9-10 days building the headsail and maki...
Where have we been???
Well, the simple explanation is we had to fire up the afterburners on our necessary boat projects to be able to get in the water before the 15th, meaning no time for editing and minimal filming. Why before the 15th? The yard we were...
This week is all about sewing. We are very thankful to our wonderful Patrons who have kindly supported us over the last two years and enabled us to buy a Sailrite LSZ-1 Premium Walking Foot sewing machine. We spent many hours repairing sails for friends an...
Isla Mujeres continued to be a perfect place to find work. Desiree found a side-job doing social media photography for a wedding planning company, scored big time on a cruising sailboat whose owner wanted newly-upholstered cushions, and Jordan honed in on ...
Our old 1950's sewing machine was a monster who loved eating anything you put under its foot. It was time to swap it out for something much more practical - so after much research and pondering we took a gamble - and bought a REX.
The REX is a copy of th...

We Dragged Anchor!!
We made it to Isla Mujeres, Mexico after cruising Cuba for a couple of weeks. We were so excited to get to a grocery store, provision, and enjoy a more comfortable cruising spot. But then... disaster strikes, and we drag anchor while ...
