Planning to retire on a boat? This video will help you to see what it's like inside a sailboat, how it works, and how we took first-time crew out for a demonstration of sailing. This episode we give you a boat tour and take aboard new crew for the first sail of the season. Start here if you're planning to retire from the daily 9 to 5 and buy a boat, specifically a Catalina model this is 1983 Catalina C-30 TR, or Tall Rig. The mast is taller which means more sail area to catch the wind. The cabin width, or beam is about 10ft-6in wide and very comfortable for two people. Catalina's were built to be an affordable choice for sailing couples. It has the most amenities for the price and the lifestyle, but did not reduce the performance of the sailboat.

We are celebrating two massive milestones this weekend! Not only is it Memorial Day weekend, but it’s officially our 3-year anniversary as a sailing couple. To celebrate, we traded our usual dock for the historic, resilient shores of Galveston Beach, Texas. In this episode, we’re remembering the roots of the island and the holiday. From the solemn Civil War origins of Memorial Day to the Galveston Historic Pleasure Pier, this island is a monument to the human spirit. Of course, no trip to the coast is complete without savoring the lifestyle. We’re taking you along to our favorite local seafood grills right on the Seawall to enjoy some fresh Gulf catch, talk about what it really is like to slow down and enjoy the present by chasing your own version of "nirvana." Ending: Those that we're remembering are beloved friends and family in the past few months - R.I.P! Whether you’re a long-time sailor or sitting at home dreaming of the day you can finally cast off the lines—this one is for you.
