We spent a cozy rainy weekend at the marina cooking a romantic Valentine’s dinner on our sailboat. Duck, octopus, escargot, wine and candlelight — this is the sailboat lifestyle we dreamed about. There’s something special about rain on deck and warm lights in the galley. Instead of going out for Valentine’s Day, we stayed aboard and made honey balsamic glazed duck, sautéed octopus and escargot with Brussels sprouts, and baked brie with raspberry pecan topping. You'll love the knives and air fryer that I use, and you can get them on Amazon. View the details and cost with my affiliate links below: KNIVES: https://amzn.to/4c00kdR AIR FRYER: https://amzn.to/4kV43f5 This is what cozy sailboat living looks like — even on a lake. If you dream about liveaboard life, marina living, cooking on a boat, or creating a romantic boat lifestyle without living on the ocean, you’re in the right place.

After an ice storm and a late-night show, we return to our sailboat to see what winter left behind. Frozen lines, rigging checks, and a full winter boat inspection to make sure everything survived. After the storm, we bring in provisions for the weekend, wake up to quiet marina mornings, make coffee and a warm omelet bowl with music playing in the background, and take care of a failing electrical outlet onboard. This is real winter sailboat life—maintenance, problem-solving, and slowing down together. If you’re into sailing vlogs, liveaboard life, or learning what winter boating is really like, this episode is for you. ⚓ Subscribe for honest sailing life, boat maintenance, and cozy moments from the galley.
