Installing the Biggest Upgrade on Our Wooden Boat Yet (or Was It a Huge Mistake?) — Sailing Yabá 270

Episode 270 | We can't stop adding stuff to the boat. This massive DIY solar arch was not in the initial plan… but we did it (and MP might hate it). 💌 I’ve created a newsletter to share the moments the camera missed, the untold stories, behind-the-scenes moments, and little things that don’t make it into the videos.

But this wasn’t always our life. In 2020, we found Yabá abandoned, sinking, and on the verge of being lost forever. We had no experience in boatbuilding, only a wild dream and the determination to make it happen. We worked relentlessly, learning from the best local shipwrights and pouring everything we had into this rebuild. It took four years of sweat, setbacks, and unwavering commitment, but today, Yabá is more than just a boat, she’s our home, our biggest adventure, and the proof that crazy dreams *can* come true. Now, we’re sailing into the unknown, exploring remote islands, embracing the unpredictable and sharing the highs, the lows, and everything in between.
