Believe it or not, our experience traveling during the pandemic has not been terrible. Of course, there were plans that were changed or cancelled, but for the most part we found that we could still do a lot of things!
As you all know, we went back to the states when COVID first started, just because there was so much un...

We recently upgraded our dinghy engine and wanted to update you guys on the differences between the two.
Right before we bought the boat, there was a dinghy on Calypso with a 2015 Yamaha 20 horsepower engine, but it wouldn't start. This was when John owned the boat, so he had somebody work on it and got it to start, but...

Before we get into this post, we want to preface it by saying that firearms, while important, is a touchy subject, especially in the sailing community. There are a lot of people who are very against it but we believe that everybody has to make their own choice.

A patron saw our previous video about the maintenance of the water maker which sparked some curiosity about how we keep up with the maintenance of all the systems on Calypso-- let’s dive in!
