In this episode we work our way to Martinique and run into some pretty rough weather and sailing conditions. I enjoy a hidden spa in the back of our engine room, and we struggle with an anchor situation that was a bad omen for the start of the trip. ============== 🔔Subscribe now and join us on a life-changing adventure.

Our goal is to complete a circumnavigation and we recently transitioned to a performance catamaran and are madly in love with our Outremer 52. We worked with Outremer in France (with the help of Google Translate) to launch our boat project and start our journey as sailing vagabonds. While it’s not a race or speed test, we are doing our first Bluewater crossing this year and we are excited to see AWEN stretch her legs and dance on the water. Join us as we share what we’re learning and attempt this new life of travel and adventure on the ocean. Please be patient with us as we continue to improve our YouTube vlogging skills. Our goal isn’t to make our life a movie, it’s to give back to what others have shared with us.

Holly and Stephane are formerly from the San Francisco Bay Area but have a home in Tahoe. Our 'someday' plan was to sell our belongings, buy a boat, and, with reckless abandon, sail away to visit distant lands, which we did starting in 2020. You can follow our transition and journey in our candid podcast, Covert Castaway, wherever you listen. You can also follow every stop we’ve made with pictures and blogs and stream our podcast directly on our website. ================================= #sailing #martinique #catamaranlife #oceanadventure #outremer #sailing #catamaran #outremer #boatlife #catamaran #travelvlog #digitalnomad #lifestyle #sailboats #stayhealthy #learning #vlog #podcast #live #motivation #travel #nomad #boattour #sailingadventure #bucketlist #adventure #nomad #retirement #adventureawaits #ocean #learning #youtubecommunity #youtubelife #vlog #youtubechannel #performance #weather #SwN&x% #guadeloupe #scubadiving #rainforest © Sailing AWEN

Originally designed as a fast cruiser and capable racing boat, the 42s7 comes with a very attractive and functional interior designed by Philippe Stark. The pear wood and curved shapes, multiple opening ports and generous headroom gives the impression of a much larger boat. The oval salon table comfortably fits 6 to 8. Being a First series boat by Bruce Farr Yacht Design, the 42s7 is a pleasure to sail and will perform very well in light air as well as gale conditions. This two cabin layout features a salon perfect for entertaining, with the galley that is out of the way, yet secure on passage. A pair of electric primary winches in the cockpit make sailing and getting the dinghy up easy! Boats setup to cruise internationally come with much more gear than what you’re used to seeing in marinas in the United States. Davits, dinghy, solar panels, fuel polishing, water maker, new generation anchors and heavy duty chain and windlasses. This 42S7 has it all! Save money on taxes and refit expenses by buying a boat already in Mexico ready to go anywhere! Jason cruised on his 50ft ketch in Mexico from 2015-2022, before going ashore in Banderas Bay and working for Infinity Yachts. Leverage his recent experience cruising in the Sea of Cortez and Pacific Mexico to get your cruising adventure started with confidence and the connections you need to be successful.
