After sailing halfway around the world, it’s time to do the half number two. Here is what goes into our decision making behind the scenes. 👀

Curious about lithium batteries on boats? 👀 This one is for you.

We recently replaced our ageing lead-acid battery bank with a custom-built lithium system. 🔋

The result?

✓ 150+ kg lighter

✓ Half the space

✓ Double the usable capacity

✓ Lower cost than replacing the old bank with new lead-acid batteries

That project inspired me to write a 100% free guide covering:

- The battery options available today
- The pros and cons of lithium
- Common misconceptions
- How to build a safe, reliable battery system

Contrary to popular… most sailors get seasick from time to time ⛵️

We’ve been living aboard since 2013 and have logged more than 50,000 offshore nautical miles. Yes... we still get seasick sometimes.

Very few sailors are completely immune to seasickness. The difference isn’t just genetics (although they certainly play a role). It’s also passage planning, good tactics, and healthy choices.

Here are the five things that have made the biggest difference for us:
🌊 Understanding sea state and swell
💨 Picking the right weather window
😴 Looking after our bodies before departure
💊 Understanding when medication can help
⚓ Being patient while getting our sea legs back after a longer break

Now we’re curious...
What’s your best tip for managing seasickness?

Leave a comment. We’d love to hear what works for you.

We spent months planning a route that would take us from Australia to Thailand before the end of the year.

4-5 months to sail over 5,000 nautical miles

Reasonable, on paper.
In practice, not so much.

Endless rain, mountain of land belongings to sort through, boat projects waiting for dry weather.

Thankfully we had a backup plan ready.

So, just weeks before departure, we changed our route, before the voyage even begun.
