We're a Dutch and American married couple sailing with our dog and two cats on our Lagoon 400 full-time while we work reboatly. We used to own a monohull and converted to a catamaran in 2016 and can't imagine any other lifestyle. To date (Dec 2022) we’ve sailed over 15,000 nautical miles in California/US, Mexico, Columbia and Panama.

This was my fourth time sailing the boat without Rolf. This time the ladies wanted to join and do a regatta against their men. We had all kinds of things go wrong such as the auto pilot didn’t work, the hammock line got wrapped in the furler, the helm station instruments didn’t display the wind angle...

What a show!!! Did you know that whales slap their tails to communicate with each other, attract the opposite sex, ward off males, play, defend themselves and forage / shock other fish to eat? It’s called lobtailing and it’s really loud. This video compilation doesn’t do the sound justice. At about...

We’ve cut the dock lines from Marina del Rey, California, USA to sail south across the border! First stop: Ensenada, Mexico to check into the country and meet up with some friends for tequila, wine and food. Enjoy the night motor-sailing with dolphins. Viva Mexico!

This is a longer video than normal because it’s Bev‘s first time single handing the boat without Rolf. She did have her friend Richard Doherty (SV Arias’s Song) with her on the way to Catalina Island and Holly Rogers (Footloose) joined them on the way back.
They also enjoyed the annual...

We flew from Los Angeles to San Jose, Costa Rica. Then, we drove through the lush forest to Puntarenas on the Nicoya Peninsula and stayed at Roma Del Mar. From there we took a boat ride to Tortuga Island and did some snorkeling. After much relaxation we went for a hike and found some waterfalls and swimming...
