On the road again! 😎 This time aboard a stunning Leopard 50 sailing catamaran. Departing from southern Florida, this will be roughly a 7-day trip to the Chesapeake Bay. Here we go!

Great to be back in Chesapeake Bay for the summer! 💙💙💙
We sailed 6 nights, 7 days straight from Fort Lauderdale to Baltimore -sunrises, sunsets, dolphins, storms, and 7’ seas at our stern. OliLuki crew, you deserve a hot meal, hot showers, and a gloriously unmoving night! 🛟😜😂

Thunderstorms at sea!!

It’s June 13, 2026 and we are sailing SV OliLuki north. Pretty much the majority of the southern U.S. east coast is getting pummeled by major thunderstorms, and tonight as we travel 100 miles offshore from North Carolina, we are forced to make decisions on how best to mitigate the nearest storm, headed directly for us. Thankfully we have some great tech on board. Image 1 shows a fully charged double-cell lightening storm headed out to sea, and images 2 and 3 shows the easterly cell falling apart with 2 hours. This allowed us to make a definitive decision to jump in the Gulf Stream, utilizing its 2.5 NE flow plus both our engines to go! go! go! as fast as we can in the opposite direction. Thankfully these aren’t regular events for us at sea, but it highlights the “active decision making” that needs to happen, because we don’t mess with Mother Nature. She wins, every time, period, full stop. 😜😁

I’m back out to sea and it’s time to get this show on the road! I’m helping a young family with three little ones (5,3 and 1 yrs old!) aboard their Maverick 440 sailing catamaran. We’re setting sail from Jekyll Island along the Georgia coastline and headed N to Beaufort, NC which will be roughly a 3 day trip. Here we go!!

When you own, live aboard and travel by boat, there’s always something to clean or fix. Sometimes, “fixing” something is completely unplanned, as was an issue we just had with our MaxProp on our port side. Turns out there’s a 4th grease port which wasn’t, causing the collar to seize. Fixable yes, but this is why we have been working with Laurent Facchin, Chad and the team at Just Catamarans in Dania Beach, FL for over 6 years! It’s a massive relief to know we can call Laurent and team and always get help! It’s like calling a friend that’s always there for you! And that, is priceless! 👍

We’re powering through Hells Gate on this Leopard 53 power catamaran, keeping a steady watch on depth and traffic, then out to the open, sunny expanse of the Long Island Sound. A day of practical navigation, little spray, and big views for everyone on board. 😎

This is the U.S East Coast Intracoastal Waterway. commonly referred to as the ICW. Construction began in 1855 and has taken over a Century to complete. Built and managed by the Army Corp of Engineers, it is an amazing trip through some of the most beautiful areas of the United States.

Another great day in the office, zipping along in the Gulf Stream on a beautiful Leopard 53 Power Catamaran, headed to Boston Massachusetts! 😎

Our East Marine Boats Elite360 tender has kept us safe and comfortable in the US and Bahamas for the past 6 months. It delivers an incredibly smooth ride even on chop, with solid power and speed that keep up with our adventures. Inside, practical storage and a quality stereo add everyday convenience, and navigation lights help with easy evening cruises. One of our absolute favorite features is the aft steps that make it so easy to get back in the dinghy. Everyone on board loves taking turns at the helm.
