We barely made it out of the marina before a massive thunderstorm rolled in! ⛈️⛵ We're finally leaving Pattaya, Thailand, aboard our Island Spirit 525 catamaran, but first we have a few last-minute systems checks to complete. Unfortunately, those checks take much longer than expected, and by the time we're ready to leave, dark storm clouds are already closing in! We manage to slip out of the marina just ahead of the storm, but it's not over yet. For the next 20 hours, we're dodging thunderstorms as we make our way south toward the beautiful island of Koh Chang. Of course, it's not all bad weather and stressful sailing! With Nika relaxing on deck in her bikini, the occasional sunshine, and some beautiful Thai scenery, there are definitely worse ways to spend 20 hours at sea! Come along as we kick off another sailing adventure in Thailand! ⛵ **Subscribe to Sailing Doodles** for more sailing adventures, beautiful destinations, and life aboard our catamaran! ❤️ **Support the adventures and get exclusive videos:** Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/sailingdoodles 🌐 https://www.sailingdoodles.com #SailingDoodles #SailingThailand #Catamaran #KohChang #SailingAdventure Download the Sailing Doodles Crew App on iOS and come join the Crew! https://apps.apple.com/us/app/sailing-doodles-crew/id6760212361 or join our Patreon http://www.patreon.com/sailingdoodles or become a channel member https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkDwexrF43p_1QurfKFBCBA/join Donate Via Paypal to help http://www.paypal.me/sailingdoodles Our partners: Want more info in the Island Spirit 525e?

I'm BACK in Thailand and finally reunited with my new Island Spirit 525 catamaran! And even better, Nika is back too! It's been three months since I last stepped aboard, and a LOT has changed. The Island Spirit team has been hard at work making some major upgrades to the boat, including significant structural modifications, electrical improvements, and plenty of other changes. In this episode, I'll take you on a full walkthrough of the catamaran to show you everything that's been upgraded, what's different, and how the boat is coming along. But there's no time to waste! Just 24 hours after landing in Thailand, we're already getting ready to cast off the dock and get back out on the water. Is the Island Spirit 525 finally ready for the sailing adventures we've been waiting for? Let's find out!

I'm back in the market for a motor yacht! This time I flew down to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to meet up with my yacht broker Amanda from Current Yachts and tour three potential boats. We're checking out: - **2001 Sea Ray 540 Motor Yacht** - **2001 Sea Ray 560 Sedan Bridge** - **2003 Sea Ray 560 Sedan Bridge** I'll take you aboard all three yachts, show you what I like and don't like about each one, and talk about what I'm looking for in my next boat. But just when I thought I was getting close to buying another yacht, I received an unexpected offer that could change everything! And yes… it involves a boat that longtime Sailing Doodles viewers will definitely remember. Could **The Dark Side** be making a comeback?

It's time to get Nauti Dogs ready for her next chapter! Before putting my 56-foot sailboat up for sale, I've got a few last-minute repairs and upgrades to tackle. I'm calibrating the engine RPM gauge, replacing battery connections, troubleshooting bilge pump issues, and taking care of a few other things to get the boat back into shipshape condition. Once the work is done, we leave the marina and make the short trip over to the boatyard, where Nauti Dogs will be hauled out and stored on land while I'm away. The goal is to get her looking good, running properly, and ready for potential buyers. Hopefully, by the time I return, she'll have found a new owner!

We're taking on one of the most notorious stretches of water in the United States — Cape Hatteras! After some last-minute maintenance and final preparations in Cape Charles, Virginia, we set off on a 230-mile, 33-hour offshore passage around Cape Hatteras, a place infamous for dangerous seas, unpredictable weather, and countless shipwrecks. But we got lucky! The weather was almost TOO calm. With barely enough wind to fill our sails, we ended up motoring through one of the most feared stretches of coastline on the East Coast. After 33 hours at sea, we finally arrive in Beaufort, North Carolina, where we tie up, stretch our legs, and let the dogs enjoy some much-needed time on land! And stick around until the end for a sneak peek at what's next — we're hauling the boat out and putting her away for a while.

Sometimes everything just comes together for the perfect day on the water! We leave Onancock, Virginia, and sail 40 miles south down the Chesapeake Bay to beautiful Cape Charles. With the wind behind us, flat seas, and an average speed of over 6.5 knots under sail, it really doesn't get much better than this! Once we arrive, we explore the historic waterfront town of Cape Charles, wander through the charming downtown shops, and relax on its beautiful white sand beach. Cape Charles is also our staging point for the next big adventure — rounding the notorious Cape Hatteras! Now we just need the right weather window.

After more than a year sitting at the dock and weeks of nonstop repairs, it's finally time to get my 1989 CT56 sailboat, Nauti Dogs, back out on the water! We leave Solomons, Maryland, and enjoy an incredible 53-nautical-mile sail down the Chesapeake Bay to the charming town of Onancock, Virginia. Along the way, we pass right by the American Mariner, a historic Navy target ship sitting in the Chesapeake Bay. Everything is going great until we enter the channel approaching Onancock… and I run aground! Fortunately, we aren't stuck hard and manage to get moving again before making it safely to the town dock. After all the work it took to get this old boat sailing again, it feels incredible to finally be back out on the water!

I'm shopping for my next yacht! This time we're doing something different and heading to the **2026 Annapolis Powerboat Show** to check out some incredible motor yachts. Normally I attend the Annapolis Sailboat Show, but this year there's a powerboat I'm seriously interested in buying. So we rented a car and headed to Annapolis to see it in person! While we're there, we tour a variety of motor yachts, exploring their layouts, cabins, engines, features, specs, and, of course, **PRICES!** Some are surprisingly affordable, while others are seriously expensive. I'm looking for my next boat, but I want to know what YOU think. Which one would you buy?

There's a new face joining Sailing Doodles! Meet Destiny, my newest crew member, as we get ready to finally set sail aboard my CT56 after a year out of the water! But before she arrives, I've got some serious problems to deal with. Over 20 gallons of water in my diesel tank, a transmission fluid mistake, and a long list of last-minute repairs. I'm squeezing a year's worth of maintenance into one week! With the sails finally going back on and Destiny arriving, we're getting closer to leaving the dock and starting a new sailing adventure!

Back in the water… and already chasing problems. In this episode of Sailing Doodles, I’m trying to get Nauti Dogs ready to finally go sailing, but there’s still a long list of jobs to knock out first. I investigate the engine alarm that went off right after launch, replace the alternator belt, and track down a frustrating water leak buried in one of the worst possible places on the boat. Fixing that leak meant crawling upside down and backwards into an incredibly tight space — definitely one of the more claustrophobic repairs I’ve done on this boat. There’s plenty more maintenance, troubleshooting, and last-minute preparation as I get everything ready for the next leg of the adventure. And stay to the very end for a quick sneak peek of the new crew member arriving in the next episode. Thanks for watching and following along as we bring this classic 1989 CT56 back to life and get her cruising again. #SailingDoodles #Sailing #BoatLife #Sailboat #BoatMaintenance #Cruising #YachtLife Download the Sailing Doodles Crew App on iOS and come join the Crew! https://apps.apple.com/us/app/sailing-doodles-crew/id6760212361 or join our Patreon http://www.patreon.com/sailingdoodles or become a channel member https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkDwexrF43p_1QurfKFBCBA/join Donate Via Paypal to help http://www.paypal.me/sailingdoodles Our partners: Want more info in the Island Spirit 525e?

It’s finally launch day! After nearly a year sitting on land, Nauti Dogs is going back in the water. Getting the boat launched goes surprisingly smoothly, and for a few minutes it feels great to finally have her floating again. But while moving the boat over to her new slip, the engine alarm suddenly goes off. With no idea how serious the problem is, I slow everything down and limp the boat to the dock before shutting the engine down to hopefully avoid causing any permanent damage. After a year of waiting, our return to the water definitely didn’t go quite as planned… Download the Sailing Doodles Crew App on iOS and come join the Crew! https://apps.apple.com/us/app/sailing-doodles-crew/id6760212361 or join our Patreon http://www.patreon.com/sailingdoodles or become a channel member https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkDwexrF43p_1QurfKFBCBA/join Donate Via Paypal to help http://www.paypal.me/sailingdoodles Our partners: Want more info in the Island Spirit 525e?

Things get pretty wild in Solomons, Maryland as I check out the local boat docking races, where crab boat captains race against the clock to slam their boats into the dock as fast as possible. After the races, it’s back to my old CT56, Nauti Dogs. She’s been sitting on the hard for over a year, and there’s a long list of jobs to finish before she can finally go back in the water. In this episode I keep working through the repairs, maintenance, cleaning and last-minute projects as I get her ready to sail again. The plan is to get Nauti Dogs back in the water and eventually head south toward the Caribbean this winter.

My old CT56 sailing yacht has been sitting on the hard for more than a year, and it’s finally time to see what kind of condition she’s in. In this video, I head back to the boat, inspect everything after a year of sitting, and start the long process of getting her cleaned up and seaworthy again. There’s a lot of dirt, maintenance, repairs, and projects ahead—but I have a goal. I want to get this old girl back in the water and sail her south to the Caribbean this winter. This is the beginning of bringing the CT56 back to life and getting her ready for another adventure.

My time in Thailand has finally come to an end, and this one was a little bittersweet. I spend my last day with Nikka at a beach club before saying goodbye before sunrise and beginning a very long journey home. First came a 12-hour trip by van, ferry, and another van to Bangkok, where I had to drop the dogs off so they could begin their own flights back to the United States. Then it was my turn — nearly 30 hours of travel and three different flights before finally making it home. A few days later, Cougar and Merlin were delivered to me, and I can’t tell you how good it felt to have the crew back together again. But I wasn’t home for long. Next stop: Maryland, where my old CT56 sailboat has been sitting for more than a year. It’s time to get her cleaned up, repaired, and ready to sail again because I have a new plan for her… This winter, I want to sail her south to the Caribbean. Thailand may be over for now, but the next Sailing Doodles adventure is already beginning.

It was supposed to be an easy final sail aboard our new yacht in Thailand… but things didn’t exactly go according to plan! On our last day aboard before leaving the boat for a few months, we sail from Koh Phangan to Koh Samui and decide it’s finally time to test our spinnaker. With only about 5 knots of wind, everything seemed perfect—until the wind suddenly jumped to nearly 20 knots. That’s when I discovered I had rigged the spinnaker wrong. I couldn’t furl it, couldn’t get it under control, and eventually had no choice but to drop the sail into the water while we were still underway. Getting a giant waterlogged spinnaker back aboard turned into a serious workout—and a pretty good lesson in what NOT to do!

We take our Highfield dinghy on an incredible tour of the east coast of Koh Phangan, exploring some of the most beautiful parts of the island — including beaches and bays that are only accessible by boat. Koh Phangan is famous for its parties, but there’s so much more to this island. We spend the day cruising the coastline, finding secluded spots and taking in some of the best scenery we’ve seen in Thailand. That night, we head to a party… and when we wake up the next morning, we’re amazed to discover it’s STILL going at 8AM — and apparently it has no plans of stopping anytime soon! This is also our next-to-last episode aboard the boat in Thailand before we leave her behind and head back home.

Burningman 2026 has ground to a hault due to rain!

We sail into Ao Hat Yuan on Koh Phangan, one of the most beautiful bays I’ve ever visited. With no road access, the beach is only reachable by boat, and somehow we had the entire anchorage to ourselves. We spent the day swimming in crystal-clear water, riding the e-foil, relaxing in our floating pool, and paddleboarding to shore with the dogs for lunch. Then we finished the day with an incredible dinner at a cliffside restaurant overlooking the bay. This is exactly why we love cruising Thailand — finding places like this that feel completely removed from the rest of the world.

We’re anchored off Koh Phangan, Thailand, but before we can continue our trip we have a problem—we’re getting pretty low on diesel. There are no traditional fuel docks on the island, so we head ashore and visit a few marinas hoping to find someone who can help us fill up. After striking out everywhere we try, we eventually give up on the fuel search and head back to the boat. From there, things get a whole lot better. We raise anchor in Haad Rin, home of Koh Phangan’s famous Full Moon Party, and set sail for another bay just up the coast. What follows is an absolutely beautiful sail and an incredible new anchorage. Sometimes cruising doesn’t go according to plan—but being stuck somewhere like Koh Phangan isn’t exactly the worst problem to have!
