After two seasons sailing our new Fountaine Pajot catamaran we decided to switch to an Outremer performance catamaran to continue our liveaboard cruising project on a sailboat. We didn't know how we wanted to cruise until we got out there and did it and realized we were on the wrong platform to sail the way we wanted to for a circumnavigation. In this video we share how we got here, the lessons we learned and why we made the change.
⚓ Join us as we learn what it takes to circumnavigate successfully and make the transition to liveaboard cruising.

Hello! We are Holly and Stephane 🇺🇸🇫🇷
We have made the transition from full-time software professionals from the SF Bay Area to liveaboard sailing explorers who always keep one eye on the weather and our hearts in a song. Our goal is to complete a circumnavigation and we recently transitioned to a performance catamaran and are madly in love with our Outremer 52. We are working with Outremer in France (with the help of Google translate) to launch our boat project and start our journey as sailing vagabonds. While it’s not a race or speedtest, we are doing our first Bluewater crossing this year and we are excited to see AWEN stretch her legs and dance on the water. Join us as we share what we’re learning living without Amazon, (but with Starlink), and attempt this new life of travel and adventure on the ocean. Please be patient with us as we continue to improve our KZitem vlogging skills. Our goal isn’t to make our life a movie, it’s to give back to what others have shared with us, which is why we don’t monetize our channel.
