We quit our office jobs and have been driving offroad around the world since 2018. Now, as of 2024, we're learning how to sail as we live and work on our Catamaran as we circumnavigate. www.sailingsaltysunrise.com

The grocery run

Great light wind sail across the Bahamas Bank. 2 Cero Mackerel and our first Mahi on this boat. Now, to rent a car to get mail and spare parts before we leave the USA for a long time.

When you're waiting on weather to sail, you might as well fill the freezer. 😍🤌

Kelsey's first catch! Kelsey has joined me on every daily dive for fish or shellfish, but today she got her first catch. A couple minutes after she got this lobster the biggest bull shark we've ever seen appeared from the darkness to see what was going on.

A sharky spot. We take a bucket of guts away in the dinghy to dump away from the anchorage, but a couple sharks and barracuda show up every day. They must be used to daily scraps from boats. 😬

Great day sail with the Parents

It's been special to show my parents our new floating home and new life. Perfect light wind sail with the Asym. We had to take Bob to "Bob Cay"

A couple bugs, one giant, and a schoolmaster. Dinner for the next couple nights is sorted. Now we have to figure out how to cook this giant without overcooking the outside or leaving the inside raw.

If you squint, it's mint. A Dremel, Sikaflex, more delrin ball bearings and some old parts to make the jib car work. 🤞🤞🤞

People ask if we prefer overlanding or sailing? Not that offroading, meeting cool people all over the world and digging a hole to 💩 every day for 7 years wasn't fun, but... Sailing is otherworldly. We plan to jump in a truck or on motorcycles for a break as we circumnavigate, but if we can only choose one... We stay in the water. ⛵🌊

Something about a DC-3. Still almost 200 examples in use around the world and they were built almost a century ago. That's mind blowing. Most reliable plane ever?

Good times with friends. We met up at Schooner Cay and after a long day of spearfishing we headed to a small sandbar to have a fire and cook dinner before the tide came in and erased our presence.

Great sail with the Asymmetrical Spinnaker, Jib and Main out. Boat speed matching wind speed. Then a sketchy shallow route through sand banks to the Cay.

For those who've explored the Bahamas extensively. What's the most remote area in the Bahamas? More importantly, check out this Batman Golf Cart we saw today. What a legend. 🦇 #mustseegolfcart
