Season 1

Our time in the Bahamas is running out. We only have a 90 day cruising permit and matching immigration visas – so will we be forced to go? Our concerns are growing… so we’ve decided to cut the normal exploration short  to head for Georgetown on Great Exuma and apply for extensions with Customs and…

The outboard is still dead and the navionics charts aren’t working… plus, we’re running out of time on our Visa and really don’t want to get kicked out of the country. Still, boat life AFTER things break, go wrong, or turn out other than we planned, continues… This week, we move a little further South…

Living on a sailboat can be hard. In this episode, we deal with an outboard problem that feels like it’s growing… or perhaps “never-ending” … either way, our dinghy ends up out of commission. This isn’t a small thing. Our dinghy is essentially our “daily driver car” – getting us to and from the boat…

This episode marks a milestone for us: we’ve been living on our sailboat away from a home port for over six months now. During that time we’ve seen plenty of scenery changes – from the Florida Keys to the Bahama Islands – and we just about have the hang of it… right? Well… sort of……

In this episode we finally get to explore the famous pink sands of Harbour Island while struggling with data blues: not able to get our PredictWind DataHub and brand new iridium Go! Exec to play well together. We’ve relocated a bit to the South; just down from the Glass Window Bridge to Governors Harbor. We…

We’ve spent the last few weeks escaping the winds of Eleuthera… or at least trying to. Our cruising pattern in Eleuthera feels like two days of sailing weather then four of hiding from the wind then repeat. On the positive side, we’re getting really good and weighing and dropping the anchor. Our trip began with…

In this episode we make an effort to worry less than we have been. You think it’d be easier for us… I mean we live on a sailboat and are cruising around the Bahama islands. Turns out, it’s not that easy. The sailing life is still new to me, but one of the things that…

We’re showing you a few of our favorite things around #Bimini #Bahamas – Conch, Bimini Bread, and the Great Hammerheads (along with a surprise appearance from a couple of Tiger Sharks ). Some of our gear malfunctions in this episode (a microphone dies and our underwater camera sim card goes kaput)… apologies… we’ll get better…

We finally did it… leaving the United States, setting sail for the Bahamas, crossing the Florida Straits, and arriving in Bimini… but not before we had a few issues. The head backs up, we tear a sail, and lose all of our buddy boats… sound like a great trip? It turns out, it really was.…

This is one my nightmare leaks – the kind I’m convinced will immediately sink the boat. Probably not entirely accurate, but still… the thought of a leak that I can’t contain scares me. So when an alarm goes off telling me there is too much water coming onto the bilge, it has my attention. After…
