This week we bounce aimlessly around the Abacos and come to understand why this area is a cruiser favorite. It's a bit of a day-in-the-life sort of vlog this week, but we do deal with a cold front and a mess in the anchor locker...
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. Totally chuffed .......
Thank you for al...
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 Atticus, unbeatable work space for projects, an...
The foot of our sail cover falls to pieces and, since they have to be custom made, we decide we can do it ourselves with only a domestic sewing machine, a sailor's palm and ultra-violent thread.
And yes... that IS ultra-violent :-) :-)
A DIY step-by-step tutorial on how to build a hardtop for a boat.
Jordan continues to fabricate the hard dodger and gets it completely ready for painting. Desiree meanwhile works on the canvas window panels for the hard dodger using the skills she learned from sailrite's sewing how- to videos!...
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 his rudder building skills! We also experime...
In this episode I get some help replacing all the Strata Glass window for my dodger.

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 ashore! Atticus goes for a solo joy ride int...
This week we do a comparative review of the our new Sailrite sewing machine and the old workhorse Janome.
For those of you considering whether or not you need one, we hope we answer some important questions about the suitability for boats.

Long-term cruising is all about being self-sufficient. While in port, we take the opportunity to learn how to can our own meat, make our pickled vegetables and do a few canvas sewing projects around the boat. These are things that will save us lots of money, and are important skills to have to sus...

I am an Australian guy trying to live on a small footprint. I take in crew wherever I go and go where the wind takes me. I catch and gather food wherever I can.
I have no fridge or freezer, no oven, no aircon, no generator, no water heater, no watermaker ... ( and some may say no i...
It's time to get back to projects on the boat. Matt takes over the heavy duty end of things while putting together our fuel system. A task we've been waiting a long time to complete, and a huge weight off our shoulders now that it is done.
My job was much simpler, sewing screen covers fo...

It's time for cushions! After sitting on hard wooden surfaces for too long, we cut 4" cushion for our forward salon, and Jessica has the task of making covers out of Brisa. We also take advantage of a cool spell to put non-skid paint on our deck.
Cheers from the work yard!
Thank you SO...
Finally!!! Our time in the boatyard is nearing it’s end! With work on the bowsprit nearly wrapped up, we just have a few more days left before getting back out on the water sailing again! But first, we need to get Varuna ready to sail again… cleaning her up, reattaching the forestay, putting all t...
Well, once this post goes live, we will be off sailing in the Pacific, somewhere off of Southern California, getting close to the Channel Islands! That’s right, we’ve officially untied the lines from the Pacific Northwest and set off on our journey south! But more about the trip down the coast nex...
It’s a long one, but we promise a really good one! Join us as we scramble around to finish up last minute projects and errands on Varuna before officially untying the lines and saying goodbye to Portland. We set sail for a 3-day trip down the beautiful Columbia river, and stop at some pretty cool ...
We’re getting sooo close!! Our final weeks in Portland getting Varuna all ready to go cruise include sailing, getting a spinnaker, checking out our temporary new home, and some boat projects… sewing, cleaning and we start provisioning! Few, that’s a lot of stuff, it’s been a busy month here on boa...
In this episode, we finally start to wrap up some projects, finishing up the windvane install, then tackling a few other projects and scoring a great deal on some supplies for Varuna. Our families also come to town for a visit and we take them out for some great sailing! Take a look!
And we have ...
Can't stand the deck leaks anymore! They are driving us absolutely mad, but we cannot upkeep it while being in the hot Florida sun. We need to get away from the tropics soon before we find ourselves having to haul again to fix more rot and leaks.
Here is all the rest of information of where t...
Just a quick sneak peak into the sail loft at which Desiree has been apprenticing.
