First Sail. First Fish | Our First Sail On Our Sailboat & Kamden Caught Dinner! Episode 6

We’re finally setting sail on our new floating home—and our very first fish aboard is a beautiful mahi-mahi! 🎣⛵️ After six exhausting days of moving aboard, organizing, provisioning, and preparing our Leopard 50 catamaran, it’s finally time to leave the dock and begin our next chapter as a full-time sailing family. But before we can head out to sea, we still have a few last-minute boat projects to tackle. We rescue our Starlink from a pile of trash, shop for fishing gear, discover our water pump isn’t working, send Kamden to the top of the mast to retrieve a stuck halyard, practice tying lines, and spend an eye-watering $1,255 on our first fuel-up. Boat life is officially back! We take our new sailboat through the incredible canals of Fort Lauderdale, cruise past some of the most beautiful waterfront homes in Florida, and return to Lake Sylvia—the anchorage where so many things went wrong during our first sailing adventure four years ago. This time, we’re determined to replace those memories with better ones. After swimming, exploring the boardwalk, enjoying live music, and completing our signature Satterlee family pull-up challenge, we wake up for the moment we’ve been waiting for: our first real sail aboard our new catamaran. Of course, it wouldn’t be a true shakedown sail without a few problems. The autopilot stops working, the wind builds to 22 knots, and our trip from Fort Lauderdale to Key Biscayne becomes a long beat directly into the wind. But then the fishing line starts screaming—and Easton reels in the first fish ever caught aboard our new boat: a mahi-mahi! After years of catching barracuda, landing a mahi on our very first sail feels like the perfect way to begin this new adventure. Join our family of six as we adjust to living aboard a sailboat, learn the systems on our Leopard 50, explore Florida by boat, fish offshore, and prepare to sail around the world.
