I love pizza. I used to eat it all the time. Until one day, after getting progressively sicker over 10 years, I realized I am actually allergic to wheat. I’m not just “gluten sensitive”, I don’t avoid it because I think it makes my head foggy or because I think eating gluten-free has other health Read More

Docking STRESS!!!
I used to hate docking. If you’ve followed us from the beginning, you know that we had a bit of an experience in San Juan, PR back in November 2019. See, we hadn’t had much experience with currents in our sailing. Certainly not with docking. We had just picked up Wind Therapy in the BVI Read More
When in France, I mean St. Martin…
Night sailing is pretty cool. You can usually see a ton of stars. The moon might be full. Or maybe you’re sailing with one or more other boats. Those on the graveyard shift keep each other company by chatting on the VHF. And watching a sunrise from the sea is a real treat. We sailed Read More
Life in the Water
There’s so much life under the water. The average person never gets to see any of it. I love looking at it, watching the fish, searching for elusive lobsters and octopi, and avoiding sharks. Fortunately, the places we sail seem to have crystal clear water which makes all of these tasks easy and enjoyable. Jeff Read More
Hate Mail – Is It Really Hate, or Is the Writer Just Chicken?
There’s so much hate mail on YouTube today. Is it necessary? We started our YouTube journey three years ago. There were about 1,000 sailing channels at the time, and we didn’t get into this to compete with any of them. I’ve always enjoyed writing, but it was never a passion. Just a hobby. I’d kept Read More
Well, That Sucked!
I’d always wanted to sail a passage across and ocean. Sailing is not about the destination. It’s about the journey getting there, right? My friend, Allen, says “You hope the juice is worth the squeeze.” So, let me tell you about the squeeze we’ve been going through these last two weeks. After spending the summer Read More
Lobster: Friend or Food?
You did it. You actually bought four live lobsters with the intention of eating them for dinner. You’ve never done that before. You don’t know the first thing about it. How do you pick them up? Where do you keep them before you cook them? How do you cook them? Thank goodness for YouTube. You Read More
Hold On, Betsy!
When a 7-year-old sees a live lobster for the first time, what goes through his or her head? “That’s the most disgusting thing I’ve ever seen!” Or, “That’s the coolest thing I’ve ever seen!” I can’t imagine being indifferent about them. Maine lobsters are actually pretty, once they’re cooked, I think. But I’ll have to Read More
The 911 Memorial Museum in NYC
People tend to remember where they were and what they were doing when major world events occur. Where were you when John F. Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963? What were you doing on July 20, 1969 when Neil Armstrong became the first human to step foot on the moon? On the morning of Read More
