It’s GONE: We SOLD our Boat – Ep. 111
Once we decided it was time, it happened SO FAST. One day we were in Michigan writing the ‘for sale’ ad for our Tartan 37, and a few weeks later we were in Florida...

We didn’t know it then — sailing into the sunset across the Gulf of Mexico — but this would be our last journey aboard our beloved Tartan 37.
The jury’s still out after taking this catamaran for a sail with our friends, Jordan & Randi from Learning the Lines.
For the last 3 years, we’ve put our electric outboard through the ringer. So what’s the verdict?
Sailing is tough, and often uncomfortable. Anything that makes life easier or more comfortable onboard means you’ll sail more, and enjoy it more.
Need a pick-me-up? A little warmth to perk up the gloomy spring that many of you northern hemisphere-dwellers have been slogging through?
With a forecast of light winds and sunny skies, our first sail with Renata started off perfectly. Wellll, just give it 20 minutes…
We leave the dock, woohoo! How far do we make it in the first week? Drumroll, please…four miles! Have we mentioned traveling by boat isn’t exactly fast?
This is our third time launching the boat after spending time on the hard. We’ve figured out the routine, for the most part, and each time has been easier than the last. But with so many moving parts, literally and figuratively, it seems like there’s always a new surprise or challenge.
When we first bought our sailboat, we didn't know anything about boat repair. Now, a few years and dozens of boat projects later, we've acquired quite a bit of experience. With similar projects popping up a second time we don’t feel so clueless anymore!
