sailing

Hey there! My father got offered a job at the international school on Grand Cayman this summer and I plan on coming along. We're planning to buy a ship of our own and sail down there since the cost of parking in the marinas is way cheaper then rent. We are more vagabondy though (especially me)...

Hey, guess this is kinda an intro post but I'll just cut right to the chase. I was looking for other sail bums on the internet, so here I am. I got started back when I was a little lad of 16-17 when I bought a cheap sailboat with some friends of mine. We fixed up that boat for a year or two...

Hey all! So right now I'm working on a farm in Richmond VT through HelpX, but that only goes for about another month. I've decided the wandering life is for me, and I'm dipping into the savings I built up this last summer to buy a boat. There are a couple 22-30' sailboats in my price range...

The San Juan islands are a boater's paradise here in the Pacific Northwest. After meeting up with @Matt Derrick, @EphemeralStick, and @CrowTheBard a couple weeks back, I decided to venture back out on my own again and explore some more of the islands. The route I took this time: My best...

This is the story about pretty much my most stupid boat adventure. One day, I decided to take the 26' sailboat I lived on for a sail on the San Francisco bay to work out some kinks. I was just going out for a quick jaunt, I thought, so I didn't grab extra food or water, and didn't even check my...

I just got back on this site, but I'm staying in coastal North Carolina and know how to sail. Anyone want to try and head north for the summer? Any thoughts or ideas? I don't have much money but I know how to work on wooden boats.

So I ended up in NYC and I'm crashing with some friends in Washington Heights. I remember reading awhile back about a community of boat punks over here in the city. Anybody able to give me info on their whereabouts? Looking for good people to hangout with on my free days, maybe contribute to the...

Okay, so I got this awesome trip stuck in my mind for a while now, and I need to know about the feasability of it, to see if I go forth with it, or sink in disappointment. After my current trip in Asia and United states, I wanna go back to Australia to work for a while. I've checked that...

Hi! I've not posted here much but I figure I should start giving it a go. Hello! I used to live on a sailboat with me pa when I was a lad, and I learned a little bit, but it's been some time now and I'm thinking of getting myself a fixer upper sail dinghy to learn on. What can I say? The sea...

Fuck. Almost just wrecked the boat. Sailing is a lot harder than Youtube makes it look. So glad I have a working engine, it just saved my ass from ending up on the rocks. Take this from experience, do not try and sail all by yourself if you have never been sailing in your life. It does not...

I’m still working on putting together all the video footage I shot of my trip to the Dry Tortugas in the Caribbean, so in the meantime I thought I’d go ahead and tease you with some pictures I took during the trip, and a very funny video clip of Ryan playing with a dead bird. After gathering...

I've been thinking about doing this same idea for years. Traveling on land can be rough but this kind of traveling can be life or death. I guess that's why i find it so fascinating. Here's the link:http://junkraft.blogspot.com/
