Sailing to Cuba in 2017

May 8, 2017 by Chris

Sailing to Cuba in 2017

Thinking about sailing to Cuba in 2017? You're not alone. It's the hot topic right now. If you speak to ten sailors in south Florida, nine of them want to sail to Cuba. For the longest time I was one of them. Many, many people we've met feel the same sense of attraction to this island. For so many years it's been open to everyone except the Americans. For decades, Canadians, … [Read more...]

What To Know About Sailing To Cuba: Part 1

May 23, 2016 by Chris

From the looks of it, if you keep track of the forums and Facebook pages, almost anyone who sails, is either on their way to Cuba or planning to sail to Cuba in the near future. We, on Vacilando, are no exception. I've been wanting to see Cuba for at least ten years. I've heard from friends who've been, and have been living vicariously through them ever since. This past … [Read more...]

Ya Gotta Have A Plan…

April 20, 2016 by Chris

What a few crazy couple of weeks we've had aboard V. It won't settle down too much either, as Mel begins her book (hint, hint) and we start to discuss how to drop the bow lines and do some sailing. After much debate and most likely even more debate, We're making a plan for next fall. Yes, we know all too well that making a plan while on a sailboat is like inviting Murphy to … [Read more...]

Okeechobee waterway

Wow. That's all I can say about the trip through the state of Florida. Literally right through the state via the Okeechobee Waterway. Along with the Erie Canal, The Amazon, and maybe the Mississippi, it's a trip I've always wanted to do. We sailed V around the Keys to the Chesapeake when we first bought her so this time we thought we'd try something different to get from one … [Read more...]

Okay, St. Augustine… We Get It!

July 27, 2015 by Chris

Hi y'all. Yes, it's been a couple months since the last post and I once again find myself uttering apologies all around. When we sit for a while in one place, I do find it difficult to write about the daily grind, the boat work and the Chronicles of Jet. Actually, I find it difficult to believe that's what you want to read about. We've been working like mad, our noses to the … [Read more...]

ABOUT US

CHRIS: Singer/Songwriter and author from Philly, (and also the author of this blog), transplanted to Nashville, took a break from the music biz and somehow convinced his girlfriend (now wife) to live on a boat and began writing books. You can check out his music on iTunes or his books on Amazon.

MELODY: Thought her husband was crazy for wanting to live on a boat, but never one to shy away from an adventure, decided to play along and fell in love with cruising. She blogs about how to make money while cruising at Saving to Sail and helps solopreneurs build 6-figure digital product businesses at Soloprenista.

JET: Dutch Shepherd rescue who traveled more miles in his 14 years than most people do in a lifetime. Refuses to vacuum his own hair and instead insists on shrimp tails and belly rubs. (Update: Jet crossed the Rainbow Bridge on Sunday, May 23, 2021 but will always be our favorite crew member and is dearly missed.)
