Our boat ownership experience has been quite adventurous and insightful. Social media often makes owning a boat seem very glamorous and sometimes even easy, and depending on your attitude in life, this can be true. We have worked through two medium-sized boat projects so far, and this is the biggest lesson we learned ...
We had a very calm and constructive conversation with Thierry (MultiTech/Owner) and Andrew (JetThruster). JetThuster will be there throughout the installation as we had previously agreed to, and Alex will not be on the project anymore. And then, without warning, MultiTech fired the manufacturer. So, our boat is a big boat. So much so, ...
In our last blog post, we shared our first few stops in Eleuthera on our way down to the Exumas. With every day of being here, we understand more and more why people fall in love with The Bahamas. There are many reasons why one would fall in love with these beautiful islands, ...
We had no idea what we were getting ourselves into when we left Abacos. Our calm overnight sail down to Eleuthera turned into a rough and agonizing experience. After only 4 hours of an 18-hour journey we ended up having to drop our mainsail, roll in the headsail and turn on the motors... ...
Last time we checked in, we were about to sail The Whale and were a bit nervous about entering and exiting our very first cut. Thankfully we made it, and the last 2 weeks aboard Seamlessly have been the most-pleasant so far. Day by day, we're getting more and more comfortable navigating, raising ...
After finishing up service items in Fort Lauderdale with Just Catamarans and MultiTech, it was time to set off on our very first solo adventure, or should we say duo adventure because it was only the two of us operating SV Seamlessly? Leanne’s dad came to join us, to make sure we didn't ...

We bought our 60-foot sailing catamaran in September and decided to do a bit of work on her before ...
We are starting to accept that a 60-foot catamaran is a big boat, even though we don't feel Seamlessly is big. This is probably because it is our first boat and we have nothing to compare it with. All of our training captains, friends, marina-neighbors, contractors, and generally everyone else recommended that we should ...
As of today, we are the proud owners of a beautiful 60-foot sailing catamaran; a 2006 Fountaine Pajot Eleuthera 60. This post is an uncensored summary of our experience, including the good and the bad. There are many YouTube videos and blog posts floating around the internet that made the boat purchasing process look ...
We started out with a dream of sailing around the world, exploring and discovering - then we started to research and quickly concluded that our assumption was correct; it's not as easy as it sounds. Although we love the look of monohull sailboats, it didn't take us long to strike monohull sailboats from our list. ...
