Frightening moments at sea…. We’ve all had them. When the weather changes unexpectedly, the pressure ramps up. If an accident happens while you’re miles from medical assistance, you’re left relying on each other and the medical supplies you have on board. We asked three cruising couples to share their stories— the good, the bad, and everything in between. Watch the full interviews in our latest YouTube video. Just search “Holly and Ray” to watch! #boatlife #sailing #southpacific #cruisingcommunity

We asked three cruising couples to share theirs— the good, the bad, and everything in between. Hear their stories and the advice in our latest video.

Experience is something you gain right after you need it! I’ve never met a cruiser who doesn’t have a story that started with a decision they later realized wasn’t their best. It’s all part of the adventure and how we learn. If you’re brave enough, share one of your stories in the comments 👇🏼 And don’t forget to check out our YouTube video to meet a few more cruisers and hear their stories and advice. #sailing #cruisingcommunity #monohull #catamaran

Years of living on the water, and we still get this excited when dolphins appear. 🐬 Sailors have long considered dolphins to be a good omen— a sign of protection, safe passage, and good fortune at sea. Whether that’s folklore or fact, it’s hard not to believe in a little magic when they choose to swim alongside you. Some things never lose their wonder. 💙 #boating #boatlife #travel #marinelife #dolphin #oceanlife

After a bit of trial and error trying to build level, sturdy supports for our workshop floor, we decided to let the experts step in. We can’t wait to see this space transform.

Cracked welds near the helm? Not something you want to mess with... We've finally tackled this critical repair on our Lagoon 42 sailing catamaran here in New Zealand! Reinforced and ready for safer sailing — this is just the beginning of our full refit series. More boat work coming soon!

We’ve officially hauled Sabado out of the water at Port Whangarei Marine Center in New Zealand, and the refit has begun! In our latest video, we take you through a day in our new routine: starting the morning at our rental house, commuting to the boatyard, and diving into our first big boat projects. We kick things off by tearing apart our bed to prep for a major power system upgrade. We also give you a tour of the yard facilities, and remove our cockpit fridge to make way for a new one. It’s a strange feeling seeing the boat on land with empty cabinets, but we’re excited (and a little nervous) about what’s ahead. Big changes are coming — and this is just the beginning. ——————————————————————— ⛵️Join the Crew or become a VIP (our version of Patreon!): https://www.svsabado.com/subscribe/ ⚓️Check out our Blog: https://www.svsabado.com 📸Follow us on Instagram: @sv_sabado 🎁Our favorite products: https://www.amazon.com/shop/hollyandray **As Amazon associates, we earn commission from qualifying purchases** Holly and Ray have been #sailing together since 2020 on their #catamaran, Sabado.
