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.

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.

This week we’re embarking on our longest offshore passage EVER on our own, on our Seawind 1600 catamaran. We're #sailing south from Solomons Island to Norfolk, Virginia then on to Charleston, South Carolina and finally onto Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.

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?

This week we’re casting the lines from Liberty Marina and the Sail Away Catamaran fam to begin our journey south to Florida. But before departing we visited the Annapolis Maritime Museum to learn more about the history of the Chesapeake Bay and its role as the lifeblood of the ecosystem where Annapolis has developed.

We had been looking forward to the Annapolis Sailboat Show for months and it was finally here. Wanderlust was actually in the show and thousands of people were eager to check her out. Plus the Seawind 1600 is nominated for Cruising World magazine’s 2022 boat of the year so we took the judges for a fantastic sail on Chesapeake Bay.

This week we're sailing our catamaran under the Newport bridge for the last time for the foreseeable future on to Annapolis via New York City. Taking with us sweet memories of friends, new and old, and experiences we’ll treasure for a lifetime.

We’re leaving the bucolic waters of The Basin in Casco Bay, sailing our Seawind 1600 catamaran ultimately to Annapolis where we’ll have some boat work done to get Wanderlust ready for the Annapolis Sailboat Show. We're planning to make a number of stops along the way because we’re still waiting for our new autopilot RAM which we hope will be delivered to Newport, Rhode Island.

This week we’re sailing our Seawind 1600 catamaran from Matinicus Island south to The Basin in Casco Bay, Maine. A magical salt water lake nestled in a nature preserve that’s part of the Maine Island Trail. A 375-mile water trail connecting over 240 wild islands and mainland sites in Maine.

This week we’re sailing our Seawind 1600 catamaran from Mt. Desert Island to Matinicus, Maine's most remote island. 22 miles from Rockland, in the outer reaches of Penobscot Bay. A remote place steeped in tradition with many of the same families living there for generations.

For the past few weeks we've been sailing Maine and this week we’re enjoying boat life at its best on Mount Desert Island in protected Northeast Harbor. The quintessential Maine experience.

We have settled into sailing life in Maine on our Seawind 1600 catamaran and learned that you must live by nature’s rules out here. The tides and wind dictate everything. We are in awe of it all.

With Hurricane Henri barreling up the east coast we decided not to take any chances, nixed our plans to explore Casco Bay, and beelined it north, sailing our Seawind 1600 catamaran first to Tenants Harbor, then to a protected mooring in Vinalhaven.
