Life in Malta | Watermaker refit | AFLOAT Refitting our catamaran | PART 1 | Ep. 86

Sun, 28 Dec 2025 18:00:06 +0000

As part of our ongoing DIY refit, we’re sharing what’s working, what’s not, and how we’re getting her ready for mediterranean sailing again. if you're into liveaboard life, sailing with dogs, family cruising or remote working while exploring by boat — you’ll feel right at home here. Thanks for watching!

The sea calls to those who listen. It speaks of freedom, adventure, and the unknown. We are Daria, Chris, and Jasper - we sail with two golden retrievers, Hachi and Luna. We recently lost our Bernese Mountain Dog, Mimsy. (RIP 09.02.2025).

Our floating home, Ragdoll, has taken us on an incredible journey across the Atlantic coast, from the west coasts of Scotland to the sun-drenched waters of the Mediterranean.

For two years, we lived aboard a 47ft monohull. Now, we’ve started on a new adventure aboard our 2008 Fountaine Pajot Orana 44, embracing the beauty, chaos, and unpredictability of life at sea. Full-time work, homeschooling, storms, sunsets—this is our reality. No script. No certainty. Just wind, waves, and the endless blue.

Join us as we navigate life on the water, one adventure at a time.

🐾 Who are we?
We’re a family of three with two adventure-loving dogs. Sailing with pets isn’t always easy, but we wouldn’t have it any other way. We started our journey exploring the remote and breathtaking Scottish isles before setting course for the Mediterranean in 2023. With no fixed route, we go where the wind and life take us.

⛵ Ragdoll is now a 2008 Fountaine Pajot Orana 44, a catamaran that gives us more space, comfort, and stability as we continue our life at sea. From refits to ocean crossings, every day is an adventure.
