Our new family adventure begins! After years of sailing around the world on our boat, we’re now hitting the road in our newly renovated 5th wheel RV to get back to the boat. With a newborn baby, our 100lb dog and a mountain of tasks, the chaos is real as...
If there's anything the SAILING LIFE has taught us, it's how to PIVOT. We've made a lot of BIG DECISIONS through the years, but likely none AS BIG as THIS ONE. We can only hope it's the RIGHT decision and plow forward FULL STEAM. Enjoy!! And be sure to...
A MONTH! By far the longest we've ever left Ophelia AND IN THE WATER to boot. Even with good friends keeping an eye out, there's no telling what issues may have developed while we were gone. After a LAST GASP of fun with our families and friends, it's t...
Finally after 18 months in the marina we are departing to get back into cruising life. Yes we've worked ourselves hard, sweated it out and lost a lot of sleep to not only the boat but our twin babies as well. This week we are kissing our problems good buy ...
Yes, after 18 months, newly born twin babies, and a whole lot of sweating and swearwords we have finally made it out onto the water under our own propulsion and MAN does it feel good. Finally having a running engine last week, this week we are eager to sta...
It's been SO LONG since we both visited friends and family in the U.S. FINALLY, we're flying back for a full MONTH to catch up, decompress, and enjoy a little holiday cheer. But leaving the boat behind is stressful stuff...and so is a 17-hour travel day!...
To be perfectly honest we haven't much enjoyed our time on the hard, sweating it out in the middle of the tropics, fixing up a broken boat with baby twins requiring huge amounts of our attention. I guess thats why this week we are soooo super stoked to fin...
Another week and we're splashed well and truly hopefully for the last time in a long while. We assess the common leak that has been annoying us for so long and the engine in finally being finished (kind of).

FIVE YEARS is a LONG TIME to LIVE ON A SAILBOAT down here in the CARIBBEAN. There's so much we've learned to love AND so much we've come to miss. Sometimes the things we miss may seem comically mundane. When we FIND those things, we indulge as much as p...
