We’re facing the final challenge of our voyage: a 500 nm sail upwind to the Marquesas, our sanctuary from cyclone season. Join us for an epic rollercoaster ride to one of the most beautiful anchorages in the world.

On our upwind journey to the Marquesas for cyclone season we hunkered down in Tikehau, waiting for squally weather to pass. It gave us time to reflect and see these moments for what they are, not interruptions, but life, real and raw.

Sailing flat water lagoons, diving with sharks, admiring beautiful coral, wandering pink sand beaches, eating from the land and sea; our time sailing the Tuamotus has been amazing and these islands are quite possibly our favorite cruising destination yet. But it seems we’ve tempted fate and lingered in paradise a bit too long…

We’ve been sailing + living on our Seawind 1600 catamaran for 3 years and wanted to share an honest review of our experience after purchasing a new boat, working through the warranty issues, what we’ve learned, loved, and what we would have done differently.

Our search for the trade winds continues as we sail across the Pacific Ocean. Light winds shift to higher winds which morph into squalls taking all the wind with them upon departure.

We are continuing our 4,000 nm voyage across the Pacific Ocean, going from pollywogs to shellbacks as we cross the equator, hoping for wind, catching fish, marveling at dolphins, learning we may need to hand steer more often than we’d like and now our rudders are even giving us problems.

We are finally setting sail on a 4,000 nm passage across the Pacific to French Polynesia. This dream has been years in the making and it’s finally coming true!

This week we spend our time doing what we set out to do when we embarked upon this lifestyle; sailed, connected with a local who took us diving for lobster and octopus, and cooked a delicious meal onboard with the bounty. This is truly #boatlife at its finest! But of course it doesn't come without challenges.

Join us this week in Linton Bay, Panama as Wanderlust is hauled out of the water for some much needed TLC. If you’re curious what kind of maintenance a 2 yo performance sailing catamaran needs, this one is for you! This period has also given us time to reflect a bit and we shared a bit of our introspection in this episode.

We should be sailing right now but instead we are in Great Inagua, the southernmost island in the Bahamas, attempting to fix the headboard on our main sail so we can continue our passage to Panama, where we need to arrive by June 1st, before the start of hurricane season, as mandated by our insurance.

We have been working on getting boat insurance for the past month and we finally secured a policy that fit our budget! Within two hours we fired the engines and were on our way to PANAMA!!! We were so excited to officially kick off our voyage sailing around the world!

With all of the essential boat repairs and maintenance completed, we are officially starting our voyage sailing around the world! But Mother Nature has said our first sail will be a relatively short one. Join us for an epic day on the water!

You know the saying, sailing plans are written in the sand at low tide? Well, that certainly rings true for us. This week we're on passage, and an unexpected one at that. Watch now to see what we're up to.

The Great Guana Cay reef was once recognized as one of the best dive sites in the world so we’re sailing from Elbow Cay north to Great Guana Cay to check it out. We’ve heard it may not be as pristine as it once was, but we’re eager to find out for ourselves and of course hunt for fish.

We’re sailing further south into the central stretch of the Abacos in the Bahamas, looking for cute Bahamian towns and beautiful reefs for admiring and hunting for fish. To avoid shallow shifting sands and shoaling in the Sea of Abaco we have to traverse the notorious Whale Cay Cut, known for swells and Abaco rage sea conditions, if the trip isn’t timed properly. Join us to see what happens.

We are sailing to the Abacos in the Bahamas! We've got great wind, but it's a bit tricky because it's coming pretty much from where we want to go. So we need to sail upwind in the narrow Sea of Abaco in our catamaran. Join us as we navigate these waters and dive the reef off Green Turtle Cay.

Last time we left off we were troubleshooting an issue with our autopilot. Thanks to some viewers, Chris from Just Catamarans, and Fabio’s persistence, we adjusted some settings and it appeared to be working. So we decided to take a leap of faith, leave for the Bahamas and handle whatever repairs are needed along the way.

This week we continue exploring Nantucket Island, off the coast of Massachusetts, then sail our Seawind 1600 catamaran 60 nautical miles back to Rhode Island for some boat work in not the greatest of conditions. We visit Bartlett’s Farm, which has been on the island for over two hundred years, and grows boat loads of fruits and vegetables for the island’s residents. We loved chatting with Keegan about his family’s business.
