Yup, we're still tied to the dock this week. After working on the steering system we attempted the dockside calibration of our B&G autopilot and it is not working properly.

We are SO CLOSE yet so far from sailing off into the sunset. This week we continue tackling projects like inspecting the mast, Gori folding propellers and figure out how to get our life raft into the storage locker under the boat. Join us as we get a little bit closer to GO time and plan our sea trial and weather window for departure.

We have been absolutely BURIED in boat work these past couple months. It has us wondering if we’ll ever get off the dock. Join us this week as we take small steps forward and make a BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!

Everywhere we turn we face challenges. Your success is determined by how you respond and how you overcome that adversity, ultimately leading to growth. And boy, are we ever growing lately.

So many people dream about living on a boat and sailing around the world. But it’s a big risk. You need to leave everything behind. We’re sharing everything we’ve learned living on and sailing our new catamaran over 4000 nautical miles, the safety and comfort upgrades, how much it cost to maintain and run a new sailing catamaran for a year, and answer the question, would we do it again?

We sat down with friends of ours who are also first time new boat buyers. Tim + Kate McGinnis are on a Seawind 1260 and Dale is on the Seawind 1600 Passagemaker with his wife Katrina. We’re sharing our learnings from the entire new boat buying process from purchase, to build, where to take delivery, importing, commissioning and warranty phase.

We're currently in Ft. Lauderdale gearing up for living off grid on our Seawind 1600 sailing catamaran. We'll soon be setting off for long term sailing in the Bahamas and Caribbean and are soo looking forward to boat life in the islands. But as you guys know, we love to cook and eat! In this episode we're sharing our favorite cooking tools and techniques, sort of our galley survival kit, lol.

We have been asked a certain question many, many times over the course of the past fourteen months living aboard out Seawind 1600 catamaran about the realities of boat life. Do you ever want to get off the boat?

7 months. We’ve been living aboard our catamaran Wanderlust for 7 months. It has been a period of adjustment. Learning, discomfort, growth, frustration, joy, accomplishment and excitement for the adventure that’s right around the corner.
