With no prior experience, I took on the massive task of refitting my own boat, learning everything from DIY boat repair to sailboat maintenance on the fly. Facing unexpected setbacks and moments of doubt, I pushed through to create a life of freedom and adventure on the water. My story is one of exploration and resilience, from the Caribbean coast of Central America to the Pacific side, and south along the stunning Pacific coast of South America, including Colombia and Ecuador. At times, I sailed with crew, but much of my journey was spent sailing single-handed, overcoming fears, discovering strength, and finding joy in the solitude of the open ocean. This channel is a window into the life of a female sailor chasing dreams, sharing authentic sailing stories, and embracing the challenges of long-term cruising. Whether it’s the beauty of remote sailing adventures, the lessons of self-reflection, or the excitement of exploring new horizons, my adventures with Karl offer a mix of personal growth, inspiration, and the raw realities of life on the sea. Join me to experience the transformative power of sailing and the freedom of charting your own course.

In our opinion one of the greatest debates when it comes to purchasing a new RV is deciding between a Diesel or Gas Motorhome? There are a lot of differences between a Diesel and Gas RV, so I've done my best to narrow it down to the few main differences including Price, Maintenance, Power, Chassis and Fuel Economy. For comparison I've selected a Gas powered Fleetwood Bounder and a Diesel powered Fleetwood Excursion that are basically the same coach inside and out, so check out the first video in our new series dubbed the RV Smackdown - Diesel Vs Gas.

Boats and planes carry one or several Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon, EPIRB, for safety purposes. Batteries should be replaced every 5 years for safety. But all these discarded batteries are still quite charged after 5 year of shelf life, not being used. Why toss these without using them first? I built a simple flashlight that happemned to last 5 years ... until I had to replace my EPIRB battery again. This design is easy to build as well as very inexpensive. One of the failures to most flashlights is internal loss of conductivity within metal conductors used bweteen light bulb, switch and battery. It results in low battery voltage getting to the light bulb, even tho the batteries are full and thus the flashlight goes right in the trash. Use good quality wire to connect the elements of this flashlight. Simple and inexpensive switches and LED lights can be substituted in this DIY project. Make sure that battery voltage (12v in my example) match the rated voltage of your LED light. A more powerfull LED will result in shorter battery life and vice-versa. These long life EPIRB batteries are NOT rechargeable so it is a one time use ... perhaps 5 years like my last flashlight J

Sail Repair. Do it yourself using sticky-back sail cloth (2.2oz insignia cloth) and spray glue. For more DIY sail repair and alteration methods see my video on "DIY mainsail cut-down". I have developed these methods to create low cost sails for our low cost boat. If you are looking for good value secondhand sails, repaired and ready for service, please down-load a copy of my latest list of used sails. I can often bring sails to Sydney for pickup at Brooklyn NSW 2083 or can quote you freight Australia wide. Here is the link to my facebook page "Sailing Happy Loving Life" where you will find the link for the downloadable list of sails; https://www.facebook.com/SailingHappyLovingLife/ Thanks for your interest. I look forward to helping you. Alan Barber 0408020258

Bayliner's design team has out done themselves again! For a 24' boat this boat has space to spare: The cockpit layout is second to none in this size boat and even up to 26' boats. Plus, the space in the upper deck is very comfortable and usable! Below deck you get a very bright, and cleanly finished interior which is purpose built for low maintenance. Alcohol/electric stove and microwave in the galley with sink, and a shower set-up in the head are great amenities. The Mercruiser engine in this boat was rebuilt at the end of last season and is ready to go with only a couple of hours on it! Not often one would find a Bravo 3 leg on a boat like this, but it is a notable upgrade and will give you better cruising economy and much better tight space manoeuvring. Comes with a SS BBQ, and the basic safety gear and a couple life jackets. Full camper canvas, snap out carpets and the cockpit cover also come with the boat. Great package, on the trailer, mechanically inspected, detailed, ready to go boating!

The Hans Christian Offshore Explorer was designed as a rugged, blue water sailboat fully capable of circumnavigating the world while offering luxury and comfort that can be appreciated out at sea or on a coastal cruise. Designed by two of the best names in the business, Chuck Paine and Nigel Calder, and built to legendary Hans Christian specifications, this yacht has been well maintained by a cruising couple who sail the Caribbean. The Offshore Explorer features a traditional three stateroom, two head layout, and top quality construction by Hans Christian. This pristine blue water passage maker has all the gear: electronics, air-conditioning, generator, water maker, bow thruster, electric toilets, washer/dryer, bimini, dodger, trash compactor, and more.

If this is what it takes… am I really ready to keep going? I’ve been spending day after day in the boat yard, grinding, sanding, and peeling away years of old paint from the aluminum hull of my sailboat. What started as a necessary step for welding and a fresh paint job has become something deeper — a test of grit, patience, and just how far I’m willing to go to keep this sailing dream alive. This isn’t the glamorous side of boat life. It’s boat yard work at its most tedious. It’s sailboat refit reality, where you question everything while covered in dust. In this episode, I’m battling both the endless sanding and my own motivation — finding strange little ways to push through the monotony and stay connected to the bigger picture. If you’ve ever chased a dream that demanded more than you expected… this one’s for you.

This did not go as planned. I thought by now I’d be sailing through turquoise Caribbean waters, growing into life as a solo sailor, and exploring wild, remote places. Instead, I’m sitting with bitter news that might mean the end of this dream — before it even truly began. This episode is raw. It’s about facing the harsh reality of boat life challenges, solo sailor struggles, and the crushing weight of unexpected setbacks during a sailboat refit. I set out to create a meaningful, self-directed life… but what happens when the dream turns into a fight for survival? Is it time to give up? Or should I keep holding on to this vision of freedom, even when it doesn’t feel so dreamy anymore? If you’ve ever questioned your own path or hit a wall chasing something you love — you’re not alone. Come aboard for one of the hardest weeks in my journey so far.

The pace has been maintained and this week we concentrated on the removal of both the mizzen and the main masts. We also had the electrician, the mechanic and the plumber on board to discuss a number of projects. Mast Removal The biggest event this week was the removal of the two masts. We had to pre-book the crane so it was paramount that we disconnected all electrical cables from the base of the masts. The mizzen is deck-stepped (as in it stops at the deck) but the main is through-hull, so getting to those cables involved pulling up floor boards and rummaging through dirty bilges. Un, our project manager, coordinated the removal. He used the two carpenters, Ton and Tui, and Lek, the Burmese lad who has been grinding our hull. The first task was to send Lek up the mizzen to undo the triatic, which is the cable that connects the main to the mizzen. Fortunately Lek is a young whippersnapper so winching him was quite easy! After this the crane was then able to hoist him up again to put a slip around the mizzen, connected to large hooks at the end of the crane. The mizzen was fairly straightforward and easy to drop into a horizontal position on two oil drums. The main was a little more problematic, but only because two rubber wedges, used to hold the mast in position when upright, had to be removed. I don’t think they’d moved for twenty years so getting them out took about 15 minutes. Once removed the crane hoisted the main whilst Ton stayed down below to ensure the cables came out ok. The two masts were then masterfully positioned at the back of the yard by a crane operator who deserves some recognition for his deftness behind the joystick. Moving a 20m metal stick in between parked boats was no mean feat. Mast Removal In Glorious High Def! For those who have never seen this kind of operation before, we’ve put together a short clip complete with commentary. It includes clips of both the main and the mizzen but put together in a logic order so you get a feel for the complexity of the task. https://youtu.be/I4uvDiYxHlA This clip accompanies our blog post on Esper's refit, and is a summary for Week Two's progress.

Everything seemed to be breaking, nothing felt reliable, and I found myself spiraling into doubt — not just about the boat, but about myself. This episode shares a vulnerable moment from my journey as a new sailboat owner, when trust in my boat was low, overwhelm was high, and I wanted nothing more than to hide from the world. But instead of giving in to that feeling, I decided to sit down, list what was making me feel this way, and take small but steady steps toward rebuilding my confidence. If you’ve ever felt lost, stuck, or unsure on your own journey — sailing or otherwise — this one’s for you.

Facing the challenges of solo sailing as a female sailor, I navigated the highs and lows of single-handed sailing while tackling DIY boat repair projects, from engine fixes to full boat refits on a budget. My life aboard was a mix of adventure and reflection, shaping an independent woman’s story of resilience, personal growth, and embracing the sailing lifestyle. If you’re interested in remote sailing adventures, authentic sailing stories, and the realities of living on a sailboat, this channel offers a glimpse into the world of DIY projects, the sailing lifestyle, and life’s transformative moments on the water. Follow along for inspiring stories that reflect on the beauty of sailing, personal growth, and chasing dreams—one wave at a time.
