Other than a few weekend trips here and there, we’ve been moored at the docks for two years. That means easy water fill-ups, power, facilities, and the luxury of stepping off the boat onto solid ground. Now we’re changing all of that by going off grid in our liveaboard sailboat... Finally, we sail our Catalina 30 sailboat (and tiny home) away from the docks!
We had a few hiccups along the way, the most significant being that our engine failed during a key part of our journey. But we made it to anchorage safely in time for an incredible sunset.

If you are new to the channel, Blue Moon is a 1978 Catalina 30 sailing vessel which we acquired in 2020. One year later we decided it was time for a road trip and built out a 1998 Delica to drive across the country. Now we live aboard the boat full-time, take weekend trips in the van, and explore this beautiful world.
Thanks for watching!
