OUTREMER 52 OWNER’S REVIEW: https://www.katamarans.com/owners-reviews/outremer-52r/

About us: 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 YouTube 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.

Let's talk about the Mediterranean wind; it's windy and unpredictable. We are learning a lot about trusting weather models and what we can do to stay safe in high wind conditions. 

Welcome to Covert Castaway, our fully uncut experience making the transition to being liveaboard sailing cruisers. Join us as we talk about what we‘re learning as we sell our stuff, quit our corporate jobs, say goodbye to our family and attempt a circumnavigation on a sailing catamaran. 

Quick update from the airport during our layover in Dallas.

I had to grab the mic tonight and record my husband as he started talking about what it was like for him since it was his last day of work as he fully makes the turn to a full time cruiser. In just two days we leave for France (hopefully) where I will meet our sailboat for this first time. I'll be posting bonus podcasts during the trip to update everyone real time on how our story unfolds.

Just one week left as we countdown the days to 'cast the lines,' though in reality that's really not how it works cruising on a sailboat. We reflect on what it's like being on the threshold of this major life event and dealing with all the last minute things to do before we head to the airport.

Just two weeks to go before we start the sailing adventure and everything has snuck up on us all at once. This week we talk about all the final details for home and for the catamaran as we move into crunchtime.

We decided to go for it and booked tickets back to France for the end of June to try to take possession of our catamaran. In this episode we catch up on our new departure and sailing plan given the COVID situation and share an update on what is going on with our sailboat.

How do you tell your kids that you are selling all your stuff and planning to go live on a boat and help them through the change curve so you aren’t completely gutted with guilt before you leave. In today’s episode, you’ll hear from them directly about their initial reactions and what concerned them the most all in their own words. And stick around for next week where you will hear from my mom and sister as well.

I’ve had a couple requests from followers to talk about how we made our decision on our dinghy, or tender. In this week’s podcast we discuss how we made this choice, and how we balanced logic and passion when it came to getting an OC Tender.
