For almost nine years, we've made videos documenting our sail around the world. Having you along with us for the adventures, the challenges and all the MANY things we've learned made the journey infinitely more meaningful. But all good things come to an end. So with heavy hearts, we're announcing that this is the end of the Out Chasing Stars YouTube channel. It takes an immense amount of time and effort to produce these videos. More and more, we found ourselves wanting to devote that time to other projects. Something had to give. We're not done yet with a life on the water. We still have a passion for exploring this beautiful world and meeting so many incredible people. Keep an eye out for Starry Horizons and be sure to stop in and say hi! The love and support we've received over the years has meant more than you could ever know. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being a part of our journey. Farewell and Fair Winds, David & Amy Maintenance Right on Schedule: https://MaintenanceROS.com/ Amy's Romance Novels: https://www.lizalden.com/ You can still find us on social media and our blog: Blog: www.outchasingstars.com FB: www.facebook.com/outchasingstars/ Instagram: www.instagram.com/outchasingstars/

From the moment we moved aboard Starry Horizons, I've always felt like there had to be a better way of identifying and tracking all the maintenance and work needed to keep her sailing safely. My spreadsheets were good, but they could only do so much. So together with my brother, we've finally built a better solution. Introducing Maintenance Right on Schedule: https://MaintenanceROS.com We've assembled a large (and ever growing!) database of official maintenance schedules for marine equipment. You can search, customize or even create your own tasks to personalize the maintenance schedule for your boat. And it really is personal. We'll predict when you need to do that next oil change based on how often you actually use your engine! Not only can you track maintenance, but we have a library of checklists you can use for your boat as well as a 'to-do' list feature for all those small things that need to be done. Sign up at https://MaintenanceROS.com/ for a 14 day free trial and use code "outchasingstars" to get 20% off your first 6 months. This has been such a passion project and I'd love to get feedback on how we're doing and what else you'd like to see. Thanks for all your support!

No grocery store, no services. Just some of the most amazing scenery and clear water in the world! To get there we have to make it through the extremely shallow Hog Cay Cut and find a spot to survive a westerly blow. But the reward is so worth it and we arrived in time to attend the annual charity auction party at Hog Cay (different one!) with all the locals from the Ragged Islands. What an absolutely perfect way to start our season cruising the Bahamas!

That meant it was too late in the year to head offshore to Bermuda, so instead it was time to hop down the East Coast as we made our way to the Bahamas. That resulted in some rough sailing, but Mother Nature eventually took pity on us. After a quick stop over in New Jersey, a window to sail straight to the Bahamas opened up just when we needed it. This passage was also our first time sailing Starry Horizons after all the changes we made so of course I was eager to find out just how well my theories worked in reality! *** We found our Starlink Rail Mount here: (no affiliation, just a happy customer!) https://www.etsy.com/shop/mridenver *** ================ Affiliate Links ================ Out Chasing Stars is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to amazon.com.

Our new Schenker Zen100 watermaker will enable us to make water from the power generated from our solar panels and let us stay longer in those remote islands we love to explore. Of course, before we can get to those islands, we have to actually install the new watermaker. The install was fairly straightforward, although we customized the set up just a bit to make life easier for future maintenance.

We've upgraded from dacron to a hydranet mainsail and genoa and got a slightly lighter Code 0 as well. She will never be a true performance catamaran, but we hope that the combo of new sails and losing some weight during our refit will result in a bit more speed! Of course, you can't put new sails on the boat without a rig, so first we had to work with the yard to get the mast stepped and our new Harken furler fitted. Once again our rigger Tim worked his magic and everything fit just like we intended! ================ Affiliate Links ================ Out Chasing Stars is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to amazon.com.

He identified some parts that had suffered significant damage that wasn't immediately visible and helped us figure out what needed to be replaced vs what just needed a good cleaning. We also took advantage of his wealth of knowledge and the available facilities to significantly upgrade several parts of our rig. Talk about a fantastic learning opportunity!

In this episode, the fabrication of a new solar arch is completed and we mount 5 of our new 450w bi-facial solar panels. That brings our total solar capacity up to 3.2 kilowatts! We'll walk through the design of the arch, the wiring of the panels and the entire design of the solar system to integrate into our Victron electronics. With this completed, we should truly become an off grid boat. No longer will we rely on our generator for power.

It's not something we've had to tackle often so perhaps it was the fear of the unknown or fear of screwing something up worse than it was before. But... you can only put off learning something for so long! As part of our ongoing refit, Amy tackles a big project in the shower.
