Channel Information
Curious about the cruising lifestyle? We've been sailing (3 monohulls & 1 catamaran) for over 26 years and love sharing our hard earned lessons and blissed out moments with the world. Nick is a meteorologist and creates all the music on our channel. Megan is a fabric welder and loves to transform her boats and homes. She also loves creating her own skincare and healthy meals. We're drawn back to the cruising lifestyle again and again because of the incredible people, places and creatures we encounter. It's all magical!

Cruising is a balance of awesomeness and difficulty. We return to the cruising life on our friends' Lagoon 42, Sabado in French Polynesia to see if the fire was still burning. Huge shout out and thank you to Holly and Ray, we love you guys! Tahiti, Mo’orea, Raiatea and Bora Bora did not disappoint!...

Meeting the builder of a wooden Dix470 catamaran in Japan helped us change course, back to our roots as builders and creators. We also go sailing in Japan! As we return to friends and family in Oregon, we have a new hunger for returning to the sailing life...aboard a yacht of our own making.

IT ALWAYS HAPPENS AT NIGHT! This Outremer 55 catamaran has some serious horsepower and the right sails for the right conditions. As we continue our Atlantic crossing, we have great luck with a symmetrical spinnaker, and terrible luck with the asymmetrical spinnaker.

What's it like in 15 foots seas aboard a performance boat? A "good enough" window to leave the Canary Islands sends us into rough weather for a few days. We talk routing, which weather models are "best," and when to use which. We also check in with Megan back in Texas where she is trying to heal up....
