February 8 – 15, 2026 Our first week in Coconut Grove, Miami, FL. We thought we would be here for 2-3 weeks. Well, we were wrong and would end up making this a home for the next 2 months as we worked to figure out how to build and assemble our solar arch and navigate…

We finally left the Florida Keys and had a beautiful, calm welcome to Biscayne Bay. We were sad to only spend one night in Key Largo but we needed to get up north before the next storm hit. We anchored in Coconut Grove area and our plan to only be here for a couple weeks…

Jan 25 – Feb 1, 2026 We heard the USCG come over the VFH radio probably 286 times warning us of the coming gale. The gale-force winds would be creating a sea state worthy of small craft advisory warnings for 72 hours straight. We drug anchor, got a new anchor and chain, made a new…

January 11-24, 2026 | Florida Keys This week’s episode covers 2 weeks! So we have two emails to home down below and some crazy times covered in this episode. We test out our anchor set up in 30 knot gusts. The highlight was attending the Bluewater Cruising Summit. The first of its kind. We met…

January 04 – 10, 2026 | Florida Keys BIG NEWS: WE HIT 300 NAUTICAL MILES! We say goodbye to Boca Grande – our favorite Florida Key to date and head back in to Key West as our first stop eastward to Marathon, Florida (in Boot Key). An unexpected evening in Key West reunited with our…

Dec 27 – Jan 3 Our first week was packed with 3 new anchorages, our first blow on our own anchor, remote island birthday, and trying to snorkel a sunken ship. Whatever we thought the Keys would be like, it definitely was not, but we learned so much. Here’s our first impression… Well, before we…

Well…our planned ‘one night in Ft. Pierce’ turned into several days in Ft. Pierce, including Christmas Day. Our buddy boat and their friends really saved us – from navigating our boat to taking Josh all the way to Ft. Lauderdale so he could pick up the prop parts, a new watermaker and a new generator.…

We launched! Our very first passage was from Port Canaveral to Ft. Pierce, FL. It was a beautiful day and we had a wonderfully uneventful sail down the coast. We were able to get the sea sickness under control and Sam finally got her cream soda Dr. Pepper! However, the evening took a turn for…

Wow, so much happened. But SV Nobad Weather is officially in the water and docked! So much emotion – we did it. No more boatyard. We were stressed ALL week and the moment we finished tying off the boat to the dock, I just started to cry. The next chapter begins… Excerpt from the email…
