SOLO SAILING THE BRAZIL COAST Welcome back aboard our floating home. After an unforgettable family reunion in Lucerne, Switzerland, where Finn and and Ben brought home silver for New Zealand at the rowing World Cup, Rob returns to Brazil for a solo sailing mission aboard our boat in the stunning marina of Sao Miguel. While the boys and I stay behind in England for some long, overdue family time, Rob takes on life at sea alone, tackling boat maintenance, navigating Brazilian waters, and settling back into the rhythms of cruising life. This episode captures the ever shifting tides of full-time sailing life, the calm, the chaos, and the constant adventure that comes with living aboard a catamaran.

In the first SMACO video we unboxed the mini scuba tank and compressor, checked out the components, and tested the equipment. But now it's time for the real test...does it work for our cruising sailboat! In this video we put the SMACO S700 gear to the test to clean the hull at anchor before a big voyage, and talk about the pros and cons. 👉 Check out the Smaco gear with our affiliate link here: https://www.smacodive.com/product/smaco-s700-2l-mini-scuba-tank-with-heap-1/?ref=paragon Link to Smaco S700 Mini Scuba Tank + Compressor: Hull Cleaning Made Easy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybvcYNCW498

We bought our Excess 11 catamaran from factory for €440,000, but before we could move on board and start living on our boat full-time, we had to spend a LOT more money getting her ready for full-time life at sea.

In this episode of Sailing the East Coast with Bela and Mike, co-hosts Bela Musits and Mike Malekoff share the behind-the-scenes reality of cruising life during their stop at Hop-O-Nose Marina in Catskill, New York. While many imagine sailing as endless blue water and perfect winds, the truth is that downtime, maintenance, and unexpected delays are just as much a part of the journey. This candid conversation captures the balance of adventure and patience required when traveling by sailboat. Bela and Mike are sailing aboard a Hunter 44 Deck Salon, making their way North on the Hudson River as part of a longer voyage from Brunswick GA to Burlington VT. In this episode, they reflect on their “down day” at Hop-O-Nose, a marina well-known to cruisers as a staging point for stepping and unstepping masts before transiting the Erie Canal or continuing south toward the Intracoastal Waterway. Life at Hop-O-Nose Marina The day unfolds differently than planned. Instead of logging nautical miles, the crew spends time at the dock—handling small projects, enjoying the marina atmosphere, and preparing for the next leg of their trip. Bela and Mike discuss the realities of cruising life, where flexibility is key. Weather, equipment, or marina schedules can change the best-laid plans, and experienced sailors learn to take those pauses in stride. They highlight the community aspect of sailing stops like Hop-O-Nose, where boaters heading in different directions cross paths, trade stories, and offer advice. For Bela and Mike, this downtime becomes an opportunity to meet fellow sailors, learn from others’ experiences, and appreciate the rhythms of the cruising lifestyle. Sailing Lessons from Downtime Bela and Mike share how a “down day” can actually be one of the most important parts of a voyage. It’s a chance to: Check equipment and sails to ensure everything is in good order before the next offshore or river passage. Rest and recharge, both physically and mentally, before the next demanding stretch of sailing. Reflect on the journey so far, taking in the unique character of each port along the way. The conversation also touches on how seasoned sailors approach expectations differently than newcomers. Instead of focusing solely on the destination, they embrace the process—the weather delays, the maintenance, and the unexpected layovers—as part of the adventure. The Hunter 44 Deck Salon proves to be a capable and comfortable cruising vessel, but like any boat, it requires care and attention. The downtime at Hop gives Bela and Mike the chance to double-check systems and make sure they’re ready for what’s ahead. Key Takeaways for Cruisers and Sailing Enthusiasts This episode offers listeners a grounded perspective on what it really means to cruise by sailboat: Not every day is about miles sailed—sometimes progress looks like rest, repairs, and reflection. Community and camaraderie among sailors are just as rewarding as the destinations themselves. Flexibility and patience are essential skills for anyone cruising the coast or tackling longer passages. For sailors planning their own trips along the Hudson River or down the East Coast, Bela and Mike’s conversation is both relatable and informative. Whether you’re curious about life aboard a cruising sailboat, interested in the logistics of marina stops, or simply love stories of life on the water, this episode delivers authentic insights into the cruising lifestyle.

🌞 Running AIR CONDITIONING Off The SUN?! (Part 2 of Our Off-Grid Solar Boat Build) In today’s episode, we’re diving deeper into our mission to run air conditioning completely off solar and lithium batteries — even through the night, on a sailboat! Last time, we planned out the system, mounted our inverter, and ran more wire than I ever thought possible. This time, it’s chaos (again): we’re ripping off old solar panels, installing our new 120W array, wiring up fresh Epoch batteries, and — of course — surviving a few minor disasters along the way (including one involving stitches 😬). From power tools to panic attacks, this project has it all — and by the end, we’re one step closer to finally running our AC off nothing but sunshine ☀️⚡️ 🎥 In this video: Removing the old, cracked solar panels (and all the glass 💥) Installing new high-efficiency 120W panels Wiring, programming, and syncing our Epoch lithium batteries Overcoming a few... bloody setbacks Prepping for off-grid, full-time sailing life If you love DIY builds, boat life, renewable energy, or just watching someone learn the hard way — you’re gonna want to hit Subscribe and turn on the bell 🔔 because this is only Part 2 of the journey.

After years on the water, I’ve seen both sides of sailing—the joy and the grind.

Sailing my 2010 Precision 18 sailboat on a high-altitude (8,601ft) Rocky Mountain lake. This episode features late summer sailing on the last Wednesday of August. Late summer and early fall are the best time to sail in Colorado, because there are fewer afternoon thunderstorms and calmer winds. This time of year is when I start sailing from sunrise to sunset and get full 12-hour days on the lake. And since it's a weekday, I have the lake practically to myself. The episode features plenty of natural beauty, small coves, mountain views, and wind and water sounds. Subscribe and follow @ColoradoSailing on YouTube for more original sailing videos, gear, boat maintenance, sailing tips and travel content as I sail my Precision 18 trailer sailer and Precision 16 sailing dinghy in Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming and South Dakota. #sailing #lakesailing #mountainsailing #saillife #sailingchannel #coloradosailing

In this episode of Sailing the East Podcast, host Bela Musits continues his engaging conversation with Robert Sweet, a passionate sailor, who lives in Pittsburgh and keeps his boat in the Bahamas. In this installment, Bela and Bob explore: Life on the water – Bob shares stories from his experiences of sailing in the Bahamas. He reflects on what makes the journey rewarding, from the people you meet in marinas to the ever–changing landscapes of the islands. Long Distance Cruising - When you live in Pittsburgh but your boat is hundred of miles away. How do you plan your trips? Getting to the boat. Lessons for boaters – From navigation and seamanship to understanding weather and safety, Bob discusses what every sailor and powerboater should keep in mind before taking on longer passages. Owning and maintaining a boat – Bela and Bob talk about the realities of boat ownership, the costs and responsibilities involved, and why preparation is key to enjoying time on the water without unnecessary stress. Community and connection – Whether it’s cruising with friends, joining yacht clubs, or meeting fellow loopers along the way, Bob emphasizes that boating is not only about the voyage but also the shared stories and friendships built along the way. Throughout the conversation, Bela guides listeners to think about the parallels between cruising and life itself — patience, problem–solving, and finding joy in the journey rather than just the destination. For sailors and powerboaters alike, this episode provides inspiration and practical takeaways.

Part of the Anglesey Coastal path after Storm Amy, huge quantities of Seaweed. Also, an unexpected "Castle": Castell Trefadog. We are now living aboard our Rival 38 Centre Cockpit full-time while finishing a refit so we can launch ASAP. While we are based in Anglesey, we have been doing the coastal path in small sections. We have a frequently updated blog at https://sustainablesailing.net with membership options and a weekly newsletter at £2 per month for Early Bird Supporters. Our free Sustainable Sailing book is at: https://sustainablesailing.codeberg.page/ Or visit our shop at https://sustainablesailing.teemill.com/ for great hoodies, t-shirts and bags. When we bought Vida in August 2019 she was in a very tired and damp condition with all original equipment and fittings (much of it not working). We have removed all the gas, diesel and paraffin equipment, and are installing all-electric (motor, cooking etc).

Is this the ultimate off-grid water solution for boat life? We've finally solved the biggest problem every boater faces: running out of fresh water. For years, we've been rationing every drop, planning our entire route around the next water point. In this video, we install and review the OffGridWater 3-stage filtration and reverse osmosis system, a complete game-changer that has given us total water freedom. We're turning dirty canal and river water into a limitless supply of pure, safe drinking water right from our narrowboat. If you're tired of water anxiety, you need to see this. Imagine taking endless hot showers, using the washing machine whenever you want, and never having to conserve water again. This isn't a dream—it's our new reality. We'll show you exactly how this powerful watermaker works, from the initial filtration of river water (Stage 1) to the final purification with the impressive reverse osmosis unit (Stage 3). Is a DIY water system worth it, or is this pre-built solution the key to unlimited off-grid living?

Sailing to paradise: A trip to the ultimate island resort MUSKET COVE | SV MariaNoa | #143e Sailors love to drop anchor in secluded bays and experience the world where no one else can go. Life can be spartan at times due to a lack of supplies, sleep is patchy in wind and swell, and movement is often restricted. So it's no surprise that we sailors don't turn down the chance to share the comfort and luxury of a vacation resort with other tourists, but welcome it with open arms. In most resorts, sailors and the money they bring with them are not welcome. Only a few resort managers understand that sailors are quite wealthy, usually very sociable, and that their yachts are a welcome decoration in the harbor basin. Musket Cove is one such resort. ▬ BLOG ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ You can find the blog post for this video here: https://sailing-marianoa.de/musket-cove/ ▬ CHAPTERS ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 00:00 Introduction 02:43 Marina Office 03:11 Yacht Club Island Bar 03:46 Maintenance Underwater Hull 06:22 Traders Cafe 08:25 Staff Apartments 09:18 Brodies Rock 10:48 False Pass 11:22 Maintenance Balmar 11:52 Airstrip 12:16 Golf Course 12:51 Anchorage 13:46 Lomani Lookout 14:16 Lomani Island Resort 15:32 Plantation Island Resort 15:50 Black Coral Restaurant 16:13 Dicks Bar & Restaurant ▬ CIRCUMNAVIGATION ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ For many years, sailing around the world had been my (Hannes) big dream, which I wanted to realize when I reached retirement age due to my job. But sometimes life doesn't go as planned. In the spring of 2020, I was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Suddenly, my life accelerated considerably. I sold my house, cleared out my belongings, and began to acquire mountains of ship equipment. We planned to cast off at the beginning of March 2021 – and that's what happened, despite COVID-19. Brigitta was completely surprised, of course, even though sailing around the world was a much better fit for her professional life than mine. But in the following six months, Brigitta has made amazing progress and is just as excited about our big adventure as I am. We have now been traveling for a total of four and a half years. One adventure follows another, and we enjoy every day anew. In search of freedom and independence, a thirst for adventure and a love of nature, we – Brigitta and Hannes – are sailing around the world together. For this circumnavigation, we bought the Lagoon 40 MariaNoa catamaran, with which we set off on the Barfußroute from the French Atlantic coast at the beginning of March 2021. Brigitta and Hannes are enjoying their stay at Muscat Cove Resort in the Fiji Islands and are reporting on the impressive bay in their travel blog. They have even decided to become lifetime members. A touch of luxury on their trip! Do you have any specific questions? We'd be happy to answer them at MariaNoa@gmx.de. ▬ PLAN INTERNATIONAL ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ I have been volunteering for Plan International for many years. Plan International is one of the world's largest children's charities, alongside UNICEF, Save the Children, World Vision, and SOS Children's Villages. On our trip, we don't just want to relax in dreamy bays, but also visit our sponsored children in Plan's program countries and volunteer to document the work being done there. Plan International is an international children's charity. Be part of our journey on the catamaran MariaNoa and subscribe to our channel!

With no motor and dead rigging, the only option to move the boat is to tow it all the way into Baltimore where the project will be concluded. Come along on a wild ride as Windpuff gets towed by Herby’s dad’s boat. Along the way, Herby works on the bulwarks and deals with a free spinning propeller shaft, as well as copious amounts of water that splashes onto the deck but can’t currently drain away. Let me know in the comments section your ideas for a good cabin layout that will sleep four people as well as be good for bluewater cruising. Lastly, Herby gets a preview of how the transom extension performs as Windpuff is towed along at hull speed, pushing the design to its theoretical limit and showcasing how the water moves over it at speed.

What you'll see in this episode: • How to restore and cold-zinc coat a CQR anchor • A look at our homemade lightning grounding setup • Boat life gardening: replanting herbs aboard a sailboat • Behind-the-scenes of liveaboard life with Karen & Steve • Some dancing, of course! Refinishing Our Anchor + DIY Lightning Protection | Sailing Intermission In this episode of Sailing Intermission, we take on a few important boat projects while living aboard our sailboat Isabella. First up: restoring our 66 lb CQR anchor! Under Karen’s capable guidance, we drop it into the dinghy, sand off the rust, and apply a cold zinc coating. Getting it back aboard wasn’t easy, but we made it happen—with a bit of teamwork and muscle. We also revisit our DIY lightning protection system—yes, the one made from car jumper cables connecting the rigging to the ocean. Is it effective? We’re not totally sure, but we’re doing what we can to protect our mast and electronics in case of a strike. Out on deck, it was time to replace our tired herb garden. We replant fresh basil and throw in some dill too. Gotta keep the boat meals flavorful! As always, there’s plenty of fun, dancing, and a bit of cheeky humor. Karen narrates this episode.

Steve is a fan of her new green skirt 🌿💃 🔔 Subscribe for more sailing, DIY boat projects, and off-grid cruising adventures! 👍 Like, comment, and share if you enjoy the episode. #SailingLife #CruisingSailboat #LiveaboardLife #BoatProjects #SailingIntermission #SailboatDIY #AnchorRestoration #OffGridLiving #SailingCouple #cruisinglifestyle Musical Attributes OTE - Balloon Lama House - A Pilgrim's Tale Dia Shuai - Momentum II.

In this episode, we install the last components needed to bring our new Nanni N4.65 to life aboard our ex-Vendée Globe Open 66 — our family home and ocean racer turned cruiser. From connecting the control panel and gear lever, to bleeding the fuel system and prepping the exhaust, it’s the final stretch before that satisfying first rumble. We’ll show how we: ⚙️ Completed the fuel, cooling, and electrical systems 🧰 Installed the Racor filter with quick-change valves 🌊 Set up the raw-water cooling and siphon break 🔋 Connected batteries, control panel & gear lever 🔥 Filled and bled the diesel circuit before the first start It’s the most nerve-wracking (and exciting) moment of any repower — and a huge milestone in getting NV back in the water. 📍 Filmed in northern Borneo, where we’re refitting our Open 66 into a fast, off-grid family cruiser. If you enjoy deep-dive refit videos and honest DIY boat life, subscribe and join us every Sunday for new episodes. 🎬 Watch the full repower from the beginning https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdG7hVnYt74&list=PL2qAIN9cA-VOlLR1B_79ELAUbG2q3BlSr ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you'd like to support us on Patreon, our website https://www.patreon.com/SailingNV or with a one-off donation via https://ko-fi.com/sailingnv or paypal https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/sailingnv or if you'd like to help us buy something we need, you can check out our amazon wish list https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1G2NJ0EGJLKR0?ref_=wl_share #BoatRefit #EngineStart #SailingNV

5 options for deck line fitting is discussed in this video.Boat Builder Bob Emser will show the process of installing a deck line fittings on a boat, from understanding what it is to completing the installation. A deck line fitting is a hardware component mounted on a Kayak's deck used to secure lines (bungie cord), often for safety lines, rigging, or gear attachments. It's essential for managing deck layout and ensuring clean, organized, and safe line routing. “If you’re going to make it, make it beautiful.” Bob Emser Joe Dowling's Website https://www.humpbackkayaks.com As an advocate for backyard boat builders I offer a free 30 minute chat about your project.

Çanakkale Boğazı'ndan çıkıp 36 saat içerisinde Knidos Burnu'nu döndüm. Bir günde 160 mil yol yaptım. Fırtına ilk 24 saat şiddetini hiç kaybetmedi. Rüzgar hızı Fourni'de 50 knot'a kadar çıktı. Çanakkale çıkışından sonra Midilli'ye gelirken dalgalar iyice büyüdü. Gece dalgalar daha sakin olur diye Çeşme kanalına girmek istedim ama İzmir körfezinden gelen büyük dalgalara karşı ilerleyemedim. Tekrar Sakız Adası'nın batısına döndüm. Gün batımı ile Sakız'ın kel tepelerinden 45 knot rüzgar indirdi. Bir rüzgarsızlık ve tekrar stabil 35 knot rüzgar Sakız'ın güneyinden geçip Fourni'ye rota tuttum. Sabaha karşı yorgunluktan bayılmışım. Fourni'yi geçtikten sonra hava sakinledi, Knidos'a vardığımda artık kalmıştı.

After months sailing through remote Indonesia with no access to parts or services, we finally reached Thailand — and dove headfirst into a jam-packed week of boat projects.

In this episode, we tackle a mini refit sprint:
• Fresh dinghy chaps to protect our hardworking tender
• A brand new helm enclosure for shade and safety
• A complete shower refit (x3!) to freshen up life onboard
• Professional mainsail repair to prepare for our Indian Ocean crossing

It wasn’t all work — there were still sunsets, surf, and family moments in between the hustle. But with only a short window before sailing south to Malaysia and flying to New Zealand, it was all hands on deck to get Happy Days ready for the miles ahead.

There is no AAA in the middle of the ocean, so ensuring that our engines are in the best shape possible is a priority. This extended video is a step-by-step reassembly of one of our Yanmar 4JH4-TE marine diesel engines. In this video we clean and service critical components like seals, valves, oil cooler, injectors, and motor mounts. This process will help extend the life of our Yanmar engines, improve fuel efficiency, and ensure reliability.

Building the perfect hardtop for my Bavaria 55 here in Bali. The weather has been a bigger challenge than expected, and the last weeks have been extreme with serious flooding and dthe eath toll is still rising. Making it ridiculous for me to complain on being delayed by bad weather, knowing how much pain many are experiencing on this island at the moment.

Sailing in a subtropical climate requires good protection, not only shade from the sun but also from extreme UV. Canvas doesn't last long in a sub-tropical climate, and I was tired of leaks and repairs. So now I am making a permanent solution. I'm sharing my production methods, setbacks, and progress, and basically all you want to know about my Hardtop project for my Bavaria 55 Cruiser. This is not a how-to guide for building a HARD DODGER or HARDTOP. It is a journey showing how I do it in my way. Without claiming this is the way to do it.

ABOUT THIS CHANNEL:
I'm a sailor with a YouTube channel and not a YouTuber. Sailing around the world in a Bavaria 55 Cruiser, mostly solo, making videos whenever we have time for it.
Comfortable at sea with 4 decades of sailing experience and hundreds of thousands of miles behind me.

Even though this is season 8 on YouTube, I did not make that many videos in the beginning, and obviously not from my entire sailing life. Before full-time sailing 7 years ago, I sailed several seasons in the Mediterranean, and obviously also in Scandinavia. I had my first sailboat at age 7 and have been sailing and racing ever since. I also have more than 10 years of experience as a captain in search and rescue at sea in Norway.

We have some leaking holes on our Lagoon Catamaran.. In this video we talk you through what we are working on, while our sailboat is hauled out for maintenance. Saildrives, Antifouling Paint, Thruhulls, Keel damage.. it's all part of it. Enjoy our next episode of Sailing Around the World, only just beginning here in Cyprus! Come learn and experience this with us. Subscribe and Enjoy! I must admit, some of our inspiration comes from Sailing La Vagabonde, Sailing Zatara, Sailing Holly Blue, and World Towning.. although we've been talking about sailing around the world for about 3 years now.. it suddenly is coming a lot closer, and fast!! If you are interested in sailing catamarans, or the cruising lifestyle, we love to talk about it, so leave us a comment, or connect with us on Patreon.
