One of the questions we’re often asked is: “what’s the worst weather you’ve sailed in?”
This wasn’t the worst (by far), but it was definitely some of the wettest.
The passage this video features was also made more challenging by the fact that our destination was into the wind, and we were racing ...
We whizzed out on a motorcat, Starfish, to snorkel at the Sombrero Reef. That was so cool! It’s a very popular spot right by the Sombrero Lighthouse and is the third largest coral reef in the world.
Hello viewers, we’re always happy you are with us, especially our subscribers.

Our sailboat came with a staysail that included a boom. Our preference though, is to keep our foredeck space clear and open so when we headed out to go sailing, we left the boom behind. To make our staysail work "boomless", we rig a temporary sheeting system, go for a test sail, and observ...
We are pushing the limits of our southbound weather window and will be caught out and experience Uruguay's "La Tormenta" or southern Atlantic storm! Watch as we deal with heavy winds and large confused seas on board our sailboat.

The staysail boom is ready to be added. We get the staysail up to speed with our previous two sails, the main and the mizzen. Next week we continue on the yankee, our fourth and final sail at this time. Calm weather means we're working on the sails. The less favorable weather gets reserved for ...
Another sail arrives! Our staysail is the second out of our four working sails to be completed. Thanks to M&H Bartles, Sailmakers. We keep at a few smaller projects and when the skies clear Garrett gets back to the bigger current project which is mounting the davits. Excited to be out of the des...
We were living on a prayer alright, a prayer for some wind! But what we found was some awesome seamanship and squeezing every bit of polar optimals that we could out of the old gal. Even double-handed sailing can feel like single-handing at times.

This has been a work in progress but we (Ryan was the brains behind it all) think we finally worked out the perfect staysail position on Kiapa Nui. Now it's time to see her under sail and how she performs.

We’re up on the hard at the Rosshaven Marine boatyard. It’s time to sort the new sails out.
Magnus begins by putting the new staysail on the Reefurl furler which we installed quite some time ago in 35 knot winds!
Meanwhile Wendy is busy painting the plinth for the new toilet to go in later on.

Nutshell gets hauled out of the water and is given a good clean.
It’s time to dig deep to find our painting supplies in the starboard aft cabin, ‘the shed’.
Magnus goes about checking the through hull and finds that the one in the gallery has corroded away and is only begin attached t...
Another great fun few weeks working on Pickle. The jobs always seem never ending, but we have so much fun and learn new stuff everyday! This week we remove our Genoa (head sail) and give it a big clean before it heads off to the sail makers for a new UV strip. Bruno from Accuresails is so helpful an...
We face a hard decision after we worked so hard to get to paradise. Do we turn around and sail back to the USA? We find there are some surprises in store for us.

What is the best gift for a sailor? We pick up an entire new suit of sails for Florence and take them out for a test sail just in time for our next big ocean crossing. Mainsail, Genoa, Staysail and...
Whilst sheltering from foul weather we discover a simple, yet major fault with one of Sarean's safety systems. We take our town car to the wash down station, crash the drone - then head out for a sail into foul weather to check that our Staysail is still up to its job during heavy weather sai...
From naughty girls in binikis to some local culture, this is the last of our episodes from beautiful Koh Phayam. We cover a lot of ground this week. Highlight is learning about the Moken, the original sea gypsies of Thailand. We also sail a 99ft schooner, find a place for meditation, talk about wate...
► We were asked: can Liz sail the boat on her own? Both of us reply to this question right here on the beach on beautiful Koh Phayam in this week's vlog, but do we come up with the same answer?
Filmed during our trip to Cheow Lan Lake in Khao Sok National Park last April and again a few weeks ...
A great sail from the Cape Cod Canal to Gloucester, Massachusetts... the Stellwagen Bank marine sanctuary, making power from the solar panels (while also running the autopilot, fridge, chartplotters, vhf), Furuno chartplotter failure, self steering options, a self steering epiphany, ice in Greenland...
