So many questions were running through our heads while trying to decide if we should leave Grenada for the US or not. For insurance purposes we either needed to stay in Grenada or get closer to Florida before the start of hurricane season. A big part of the decision making process was makin...

As you can tell from our most recent posts, safety is huge for us. We don’t want to cause any damage to our boat or ourselves, so putting proper priority on safety gear and applications is essential. While it might be romantic to just sail into the sunset with no plan, it’s not sa...

Wow, it feels like forever since we’ve had the wind in our sails. We are so excited to get back on the water again, but before we head out, we have to make sure everything is in order. As we prepare for our longest passage yet, we have made lists of everything we need to do and have...

Big decisions are so difficult to make! For the last month or so we’ve thrown around the idea of sailing back to the United States. It seemed to be our daily topic for discussion-- not only between Jeremiah and myself, but also among all the other cruisers. Why on Earth would we want to sail ba...

Calypso is pretty high tech when compared to a lot of the boats cruising around. She’s been designed well and we’ve upgraded quite a few items such as new solar, a wind generator, new Lithium Iron batteries and such. She’s pretty much on point!
There has been one issue, however. Calyp...

As we know by now, COVID-19 is affecting the lives of everyone in the world both directly and indirectly. For us personally, a major challenge has been food supply. Getting food from the grocery store is already difficult as a cruiser, but it has become a major challenge as of late. Once the viru...

You already know that I am all about safety gear for my family and friends while on board, but did you know that also includes safety gear for our home? We have to make sure Calypso is protected so she can protect us. Have you ever heard of high-water alarms? Well, I sure didnâ€...

The most important part about the sailing lifestyle is safety. Typically, when you think about safety gear aboard a vessel, the main products are your ditch bag, EPIRB, fire extinguishers and so on. We don’t typically see or hear other cruisers talk about personal safety gear besides thei...
