We've used our Canon 5D Mark IV as our main camera for a while now. It’s a great camera for both photos and for filming but we knew that we needed another one if we were going to have others film important moments. Having another point of view is awesome, we knew we'd be having guests so we dec...

Not so long after we arrived in Grenada we took a trip back to the states to see family. Upon returning to the boat we found our beloved house battery bank had failed.
We had 4 flooded cell Trojan batteries. These batteries were on Calypso when we bought her, we suspected they were a ...

In short I would say that Jeremiah does...But let's get into a little more detail about that!
The process really begins from the time you pick up the camera. Well, first you have to remember to actually pick it up! It's easy to forget to record something as it's happening. Especially ...

The picture above was originally taken for John, the previous owner, but we wanted to share it with you! It's an absolute epic t-shirt, I love it. John gave me the shirt once we took ownership of Calypso. The only thing he wanted in return was a picture of me in it. I wore some sexy straps, the s...

We've gotten so many questions concerning this event. Where are we? Are we safe? Is the boat safe? And more...So we've decided to sit down with you and give an update!
Our thoughts and prayers are with all affected by this storm.

When we bought Calypso we knew that she’d need some canvas work. This type of work is expensive so we decided to wait until we got to Grenada where prices are better. Other cruisers would always say “Wait until you get to Grenada before getting work done!” but for us that seemed so far away...

At the moment Calypso is glued to a dock waiting on her new battery bank before we can head back out to anchor. We happen to be right in the heart of Grenada which puts us in the perfect location for any events going on like Carnival!

Woohoo! Here we go! Let's go to a remote island and just do nothing for a bit! Then we can get into some cruising stuff like a generator that won't start. We'll walk through the streets of a random island looking for a fix and so much more to include Scuba diving off the back of Calypso! 2019-07-30 02:05:54 +0000 UTC View Post

The BVI's are full of many different little spots to stop, grab a mooring ball but they are lacking areas to drop the hook.
