Learn the details of the dilemma. Dave and Diane Jacobs, live-aboard sailboat cruisers, spent the winter months of 2025 in Cyprus. The boat had an unexpected problem, keeping it in the yard for over 4 months.

We sailed across the Atlantic from Florida to Portugal in a 44ft Fountaine Pajot catamaran in August of 2022. Join us for the third leg of the trip: Azores to Portugal -- a 19-day adventure. See the sights of the Azores and the fish we caught along the way.

We sailed across the Atlantic from Bermuda to the Azores in a 44ft Fountaine Pajot catamaran in August of 2022. Join us for this 13-day adventure at sea.

Come along with us as we sail 1,000 miles in 6 days to our first stop: Bermuda.One year after selling our home and buying a catamaran, we set sail on Stray Cat, to cross the Atlantic Ocean.

In Spring of 2021, we sold our home and everything in it. We went "all in" for sailing across the Atlantic. Now, a little over a year later, we are in the final days of preparing the boat and our minds for the crossing.

Dave and Diane prepare to cross the Atlantic Ocean in their 44ft Fountaine Pajot Helia Catamaran. A few obstacles still remain. They decide to take a side trip to the Bahamas in the meantime.

Just before our cross-atlantic sail, one of the engines seized. Four weeks later, a slip opened up at a repair facility in Fort Lauderdale. This is what happened during the two weeks we were there. Visit our Facebook page: https://fb.watch/dk-sUmMyYz/
