A Week Aboard S/V Sabado: 12/13/2020 – 12/20/2020 Last Sunday was uneventful, we went to a hardware store and a West Marine (we always need something!), then got some sushi and called it a night. Monday was new battery day! We drove to pick up the new batteries that morning, and Andres from Multitech Marine…
A Week Aboard S/V Sabado: 12/6/2020 – 12/13/2020 Last week we dropped anchor in Palm Beach, Florida and were headed to take a nap when I posted our update… We actually ended up sleeping until 5pm, I guess we were more tired from our trip than we thought! We made dinner at home then realized…
A Week Aboard S/V Sabado: 11/29/2020 – 12/5/2020 We’ve officially been docked in Cape Canaveral, FL for a month. Yikes. That’s the longest we’ve stayed in one place since I moved aboard. Although we did leave for a week to visit my family in Texas, we are still itching for a change of scenery ASAP!…

A Week Aboard S/V Sabado: 10/25/2020 – 11/1/2020 On Sunday we got Sabado ready to leave the dock in Charleston. Let’s talk about dock life for a minute: After being docked for a week, Ray and I start to feel some type of way… being docked is kind of like living on land- you can…
A Week Aboard S/V Sabado: 10/18/20 – 10/25/20 This week was very productive for us! We stayed docked in Charleston, where we spent Sunday, Monday and Tuesday running errands and tearing the boat apart.

A Week Aboard S/V Sabado: 10/11/20 – 10/18/20 We started off the week at home relaxing and watching the rain. Monday was similar, but we ventured to shore for lunch and spent some time that evening double checking the weather forecasts.

A Week Aboard S/V Sabado: 10/4/2020 – 10/11/2020 This week started off on a bad note…. We collided with another boat. One second we were safely anchored, eating soup in our pajamas and the next we were slinging lines and fenders. It happened that fast. We’re still not particularly sure how it happened… We dropped…
A Week Aboard S/V Sabado: 9/272020 – 10/4/2020 Last Sunday we went to shore bright and early to haul all our belongings to the laundromat. On our way back to the boat, we noticed a familiar boat had dropped anchor next to us- our friends on S/V Vela! We first met Kara and Erin in…
