I've been thinking a lot about what is a necessity and what is a luxury. On my boat, something that feels really luxurious is the little 3-pot hanging herb garden I installed in the galley up against the port window. Having fresh herbs in the middle of the ocean is brings flavor to any meal!

We are finally here! We have moved onto our sailboat CUBA and we are slowly getting her ready to sail as far as the winds allow us. Just the two of us: Enrique aka Kiki from Cuba and Sarah aka Salsa from Germany and our furry crew. We are setting out adventurizing, shananiganing and learning as we sail through the Mediterranean to – hopefully – cross the Atlantic next year and then circumnavigate the world. With an open mind, a fresh set of eyes and good vibes in tow we are steadily on the move. Follow us for some mild, heavy or moderate sailing – We want to share our story of sailing and cruising around the world with you – through our YouTube Sailing Vlog, Social Media. See what it is really like to live like a nomad, in the elements, out there and always somewhere new. Live – Here – Now Enjoyed the video? Hit subscribe to follow our voyage!

LIKE, SUBSCRIBE and COMMENT 🔔 Watch next: ▶️ The Four Design Flaws That May Sink Your Boat - https://youtu.be/1Pts63seZYY Most people shopping for a catamaran never ask the dangerous questions. They compare layouts, finishes, and brochure numbers. But after losing our own boat, we stopped trusting marketing — and started pulling designs apart. In our last episode, we revealed 50+ features that make the Portofino 52 aluminium catamaran radically different from most production boats. It sparked a huge debate. So in this episode, we answer the questions everyone actually wants answered: • How much does the Portofino 52 really cost? • What’s included — and what’s optional? • What will it truly weigh when ready to cruise? • How fast will it sail in the real world? • Are these safety systems worth it — or just expensive complexity? We dive deep into real-world cruising performance, weight management, boom furling, lithium battery fire safety, system complexity, and why aluminium construction fundamentally changes offshore safety and comfort. This is not a sponsored review. We receive no commissions, no kickbacks, and no incentives of any kind. With 50+ years of combined sailing experience and 60,000+ offshore miles, we explain why displacement matters more than draft, what “comfortable speed” really means at sea, and why abandoning ship should never be the default plan. We also compare the Portofino 52 on price and design philosophy against other serious expedition catamarans including Garcia, McConaghy, and Kinetic, and explain why many production boats still carry design risks that matter if you’re crossing oceans. There are still unknowns — and we’re honest about them. We’ll share final sailing weight, performance numbers, and long-term reliability as this boat hits the water. If you’re planning serious cruising, offshore passages, or choosing your next catamaran — this conversation matters.
