Banana Cake Gone Wrong: The Great Boat Galley Bake-off

Banana cake and a whole lot of laughter. In this episode, we take you into our galley for a day of boat life reality. Vicki bakes the first banana cake (off-camera), Adam decides he can do better (he can’t!), and we spend the day having a bake off and laughing at ourselves. This video is part sailing lifestyle, part cooking comedy, and a peek into what living aboard really looks like when you’re anchored in remote places. If you love watching couples take on projects, face everyday challenges with humor, and make the best of boat life, this one’s for you. 📍 Filmed in the Maskelyne Islands, Vanuatu – a remote and beautiful spot where even the bananas come with a story! ⛵ In This Video: • Our galley banana cake battle: Vicki vs Adam • Plenty of laughs (and a few cake disasters) 👍 Like this video if you enjoy seeing the fun side of cruising life! 💬 Comment below — which cake would YOU have picked? 🔔 Subscribe to join us for more sailing adventures, remote island life, and boat projects.

Ours is a life shaped by curiosity, connection, and a desire to live simply while still holding onto the professional work we love. Between remote anchorages and winding backroads, we share honest stories of what it’s really like to live, travel, and work from the road and sea. We’re not chasing perfect—we’re chasing real moments, unexpected encounters, and a slower way of being. Follow our journey: @adamandvickistravels on YouTube and Instagram.
