We bought a Bavaria Fun Dive Compressor and it was a huge challenge to make all the necessary adaptations and properly set it up. This video will show you what changes we made so that the dive compressor runs directly off the inverter and our lithium batteries. And, we would be remiss if we didn’t thank Ian & Gabby (s/v Isla), Joshua (s/v Linnaea) and Jean Marc (Bavaria Fun) for all of their help!

Welcome to our channel and a glimpse into our NEW life adventure! 2020 was a year of uncertainty and change (for all of us, right?), but we overcame the challenges and decided it was time to chase our dream, to sail around the world! Did I mention that we have very little sailing experience? Before leaving Qingdao, China, our home of 4 years, we sold almost all of our earthly possessions and started our international search to find the right sailboat that we would call "home." After 5 months of unanticipated twists and turns, we found what we were looking for, a used Leopard 44' Catamaran located in St. Lucia. So, here begins our journey, filled with unmatched excitement and honestly, a bit of trepidation as well. We have much to learn as we travel the world on our floating home and we intend to document that journey and share it with you.

We are wondering if the insurance company will ever be happy with the rigging changes we are making while on anchor in Las Perlas. We jump through every hoop, but they don’t really respond. The only way to really know is if we file a claim which I hope we never have to do! Check out our video to see what we did and also if our oil leak in the Starboard engine turns out to be a disaster!

Due to more health issues, we moved into a marina to rest and change out our trampoline. We loved our time at the dock which made life so much easier to get on/off the boat, see sloths, have access to the city, visit doctors, and get things done.

We had to fix a gelcoat crack and to do so we had to clean the area, chip away old filler and gelcoat, create a mold, mix epoxy and filler, and repair over three days.
