After a long winter, in a barn far away all by herself, we’re bringing our boat home! It was a tricky job to fit her tall beams through the garage door, can we get her out without incident?
And… We’ve got a surprise to share with you!
Hope you enjoy!

Dreams are boundless when they exist only in our minds, that’s what makes them so beautiful. But when they collide with real life, they must conform to the laws of the universe. The reality of keeping a dream alive can be daunting. The litany of details to organize and track, the monotony of boring ...
Anyone else’s to-do list only ever seem to get longer no matter how many tasks you check off? We’ve got the answer to that: Toss that list overboard and hoist the sails 🤪
The weather is gorgeous, we’ve got swimsuits on in late September, and days like these are what this is all about. We take the t...
After the mast-stepping debacle & outboard failure in our last episode, our trimaran is now floating with her mast up and “wings” out, hurray! We enjoy our first sunset aboard, but our celebration is short-lived after discovering a leak in the hull, and coming face-to-face with how much work thi...

It’s launch day! We’re excited to splash our trimaran, but nervous as heck, too. This is our first time stepping the huge 42’ mast ourselves. We think we’ve followed all the setup instructions, but little problems start adding up — and so do the quacks.
Hope you enjoy!

What’s the best thing about having a trailerable boat so far? Working on it in OUR OWN YARD. Having access to all our tools, being able to make a mess in the boat and not worry about cleaning it up before dinner or going to bed, letting Renata run amok — it’s THE BEST.
We’re itching to launch, but...
Keeping your boat from floating away can be as simple as throwing out an anchor. But if you plan to leave the boat in the same spot for long periods of time, you might want to consider building a mooring. In this episode we walk through every part of our mooring system, from the bow of the boat down...
Where do you keep a boat that’s TWENTY-THREE feet wide?? After returning to Michigan with our new trimaran, this quickly became the biggest hurdle before getting her in the water. A doublewide slip would still be a tight fit, not to mention it would cost a fortune, and the waitlist for slips in our ...
Five years ago we bought a sailboat and left home to go cruising. Now, after buying a trailerable boat, we’re SO EXCITED to be returning home to go cruising!
Kirk flew down to Florida to scoop up a Farrier F9AX trimaran that we’d been eyeing for months. With the sale complete, he’s about to trailer...
WE FOUND OUR TRIMARAN! After 3 years of searching, we knew just what we were looking for. How did we know this was THE one?

We’re on the hunt for our next boat! We’re looking for a trimaran that’s big enough to live on for several weeks to a month+ at a time, but still small enough to trailer. It’s been tough — if not impossible! — to find. So far most of the boats we’ve seen have been too small in one dimension or anoth...
We downsize over the last two years to. get small enough to move onto the boat. This is an important step towards leaving the dock for good. We still have upcoming projects to make us off the grid ready before we can leave.
For the past 3+ years we’ve been secretly on the hunt for our next boat. Last episode we talked about what kind of boat we’re looking for — a trailerable trimaran! — and why we think it’s the best next boat for us. (Want to see it? ) In this ep we take you time traveling to tour three different tri...
What kind of boat we’ve been secretly dreaming about for the last 3+ years?
Living, traveling and working on our monohull gave us a lot of insight into what we did and did not like about our first boat and our cruising lifestyle. Because we value spending time with our families in the Midwest, we h...
Once we decided it was time, it happened SO FAST. One day we were in Michigan writing the ‘for sale’ ad for our Tartan 37, and a few weeks later we were in Florida getting the rest of our belongings off a boat — that was no longer ours.
We knew this day would come, but when it’s finally time to sa...

We didn’t know it then — sailing into the sunset across the Gulf of Mexico — but this would be our last journey aboard our beloved Tartan 37.
For a long time we’ve known there’d be a “next” boat. But what exactly would it be? W...
The jury’s still out after taking this catamaran for a sail with our friends, Jordan & Randi from @LearningtheLines.
After Kirk gets a long-awaited kiteboarding lesson from Jordan, we all hop aboard a Nautitech 40 Open for a weekend cruise out of Key West. A boisterous sail from Stock Island t...
For the last 3 years, we’ve put our electric outboard through the ringer. So what’s the verdict? In this episode, we tell you what we like and don’t like about our ePropulsion Spirit Outboard, how we power it from the sun, and pick our winner: gas or electric?
Hope you enjoy!
