Baller addition to the Water Wings Swag on board! Jamie, I have no idea how you found the time, but these are amazing and we love you so much!!

Pretty sure the commissary thinks we are doomsday preppers. 5-6 carts of groceries later… 😬

Nope just trying to grocery shop for 4 months of food at once, most of which has to be shelf stable.

This is a level up from the Atlantic crossing planning. But we have a month to see how we are doing before we make the jump to the islands and will be away from the cheaper and easy to acquire groceries!

Oopsie. We accidentally made a thing. Can’t wait to keep Vibing with our fellow Vision owners! We’ve loved everyone we’ve met so far! 😊⛵️

A group of Visions on their way to the Caribbean....the owners have come with a great collective - a Vibe of Visions. This shall now be adopted officially! Fair winds and following seas as you continue your sailing adventures on the best blue water sailing catamaran! 💦⛵

Thank you for the pics and the great name! Erin Wreski Lisa Conley Heidenthal Marina MacVicar Noreck Rob Noreck

Still way behind semi-documenting our journey...but, we are now into the Caribbean adventures on YouTube where we start learning what is really like to cruise!

We recover from the long trek across the Atlantic and start to figure out what cruising the Caribbean Islands is all about. Christmas and New Year's Eve in A...

Never a dull moment on board! Even on land! Just enjoying a quiet movie night… when A LOT of white smelly smoke suddenly billowed out from the back corner. Kevin dives to shut down the circuit breakers. I grab a fire extinguisher…everything off now. No fire. Very strange non-electrical smell. Smoke still rising from back of the TV…which still works. Conclusion: one vey large bug met his demise! Phew. 1080p for the win. Beer cracked for crew recovery. 🫣

What's it like to cross an ocean? Part 2 is up! Starts out amazing. Fair winds and following seas. Then Sir Charles shows up and our rig begins to deteriorate!

The real journey begins! We have fair winds, following seas, & beautiful days. Smooth sailing at first...then things begin to fall apart. Literally.To read ...

Hired a new crew member for the season. He gets the night watch! Say Bone-Jour to Clark!!

Nice thing is he doesn’t require a lot of extra food and water!

10/06/2024

Weeeee’reeeee baaaack! 😬

Hopefully for a much shorter stay this time… you know, before the whole winter thing happens again!!

Reedville, VA. Very pretty quiet little anchorage! Smells very fishy due to a processing plant around the corner. Most places closed for the season minus 2 friendly bars on a Friday night. Perfect temp in October. Baller Sunset. Who knew?! Highly recommend (if you’re okay with a dose of fish smell)!

Work hard. Enjoy the fruits of your labor. Repeat! 😊

Surreal day! Skymark, the boat Erin learned to sail on, is anchored next to Water Wings, the boat she has sailed almost 10k miles on living her retirement dream, anchored next to each other! Full circle moments. ❤️

Thanks Tim Dull for a fun night and congrats on crushing another race!

Welcomed back into the Chesapeake with a bang…literally. 🤬

We heard it hit as we were motor sailing at 8kts, but never saw anything. So best guess… submerged log. Seeing a bunch floating a bit later, Perfectly cut random logs…it makes sense.

Mostly cosmetic. Fiberglass intact. Saltwater staying out of the boat, so at least we got that going for us!

Nothing like a good morning of foggy navigation through the C&D canal! Getting in some good radar work. 😬

We were a bit nervous about sailing around Hattaras knowing the weather and waves can get a bit nasty. We studied the weather and picked our window even though we knew we’d be motoring a lot, we wanted to aim for calmer seas. There was a longer timeframe of some nasty chop than was forecast so it was a VERY long night and we made much slower progress than anticipated. But as time went on things calmed as expected. Rather than anchoring at 1 am to get up and move 60 miles the next day we pressed on into a 2nd night. We arrived early the next morning to a beautiful calm anchorage and some well needed naps! #liveaboard #catamaran #vision444 #multihull #liveaboardlife #sailing #coastalcruising #capehatteras #offshoresailing

We spent the last couple weeks getting the boat squared away to head south for the winter! Thank you @zimmermanmarineinc for the great service as always! Awesome video of us coming into the marina courtesy of Searc Fin! Thanks for hanging out and lending us a hand, see you south :) #liveaboard #catamaran #vision444 #multihull #liveaboardlife #sailing #coastalcruising #cruisingcouples

In retirement our wake up calls come in different forms…today’s “alarm clock” was a giant bait ball around our boat and all the seagulls! No complaints. #liveaboard #catamaran #vision444 #multihull #retirementproblems😀 #liveaboardlife #sailing

Come at me Bro

Come at me bro! Quite the stow away today! Zero Fs given by Mr. ENORMOUS Seagull while he bathes himself on our solar panels!

We’d go sailing. But I don’t think the thick stuff’s gonna come in for quite a while. 😶‍🌫️ “I don’t even know which way the boat is facing in the bay!” -Capt Scratchy #liveaboard #catamaran #vision444 #multihull #liveaboardlife #sailing #coastalcruising #coastalmaine #foggy #thickfog

On 4/8/23 we re-entered the US at Port Everglades, FL bringing our floating home here after almost a year abroad. Our next goal was to sail to Maine and Hike Acadia NP. We got a bit waylaid on our journey but 2285 miles later…We did it! What a crazy journey. #liveaboard #catamaran #vision444 #multihull #liveaboardlife #sailing #coastalcruising #eastcoastcruising #floridatomaine #accomplishmentunlocked

Welp, we did it. We snagged not one but two lobster pots heading out of Rockland within about 20 min of each other! The little “toggles” the add in NE Maine added a new challenge! They really are dense in places. They say it’s not if, but when. At 25’ wide it was bound to happen. So well, check. We were able to fairly easily untangle our selves without having to get in the water. Bonus! The road to Acadia went through the Fox islands thoroughfare to beautiful Kent Cove, where we anchored alone with the harbor seals and a family of rowers! Then headed to Swans Island and Mackerel Cove where we rode out the remnants of Little Debby and met some fantastic people with some great history and knowledge of the area. #liveaboard #catamaran #vision444 #multihull #liveaboardlife #sailing #coastalcruising #coastalmaine #northavenisland #swansisland #kentcove

Here’s 10 seconds of anchorage serenity.

Quick update since we left Biddeford a little over a week ago! We have been busy LOVING Maine! Some quick notes on the journey. I’d say we sailed the whole way, but the winds have been pretty much dead with the exception of one fairly painful day so a lot of motoring a so far…Lobster pot avoidance. Places we stopped at: Harpswell: Lobster and Ale House closed 10 min before we got there and didn’t open again for 3 days. Bummer. But, hands down the most beautiful sunsets we have ever seen and the quiet calmness unmatched. Boothbay Harbor: It was a cold, wet wind-in-the-face choppy 6 hour trip up. Not very fun. Fought our way into the harbor with a mean outgoing choppy current and grabbed a mooring. Ate delish Lobster rolls and hung with friends! Tenant’s Harbor: Saw Puffins on Egg Island Rock in route, chatted with a Lobsterman at the Outback Saloon, a hand built ground up outdoorsy bar. It got very foggy here than not then foggy than not. Then Rockland Harbor. A fantastic port with a major Lobster Festival. Hightights a 5k Run, Full Lobster dinner, the Great Crate Races. The USCGC Eagle and DDG (119) Delbert D. Black, and for Kevin, Maple Bourbon Bacon…on a stick. And the fabulous Owls Head Transportation Museum! It’s been a blast…now time to head out to the coastal Islands off the coast for some scenery and hiking! #liveaboard #catamaran #vision444 #multihull #liveaboardlife #sailing #coastalcruising #coastalmaine #Harpswell #boothbay #tenantsharbor #rockland #rocklandlobsterfestival

Bit of a foggy wet sail where the sun came out on our arrival into Woods Island Harbor in Biddeford, ME. While we didn’t go ashore on this stop. We hung out with friends, paddle-boarded and enjoyed some quiet and spectacular sunsets! #liveaboard #catamaran #vision444 #multihull #liveaboardlife #sailing #coastalcruising #coastalmaine #biddefordpool

We made it to Maine!!! Got some dock space in Kittery to fix our battery charging issues and explore both Kittery & just over the bridge, a bit of Portsmouth, NH! Chilly, Wet & Foggy but super friendly people …first impressions. #liveaboard #catamaran #vision444 #multihull #liveaboardlife #sailing #coastalcruising #kitterymaine #coastalmaine
