How We REALLY Afford Sailing the World | Sailing Afterglow Ep. 16
We see and hear your questions... and we're finally answering the ones you've asked the most!
This week we sit down to answer some of our most frequently asked questions, and most of them are about money & how we're able to afford traveling around the world. Do we have a trust fund? What do we do for work? What's our dream sailing destination?
We had the same questions before cruising full time and couldn't find many straight up answers, so we want to share it with you guys and continue to give you the answers we always wanted to know!
We're also bringing you along while we work a charter around the BVI for a glimpse of what we do to afford cruising full time.
If we missed any of your questions, drop them in the comments so we have them for next time!
Thanks for watching & we will see you guys next week, back in the BVI... but on Afterglow!

Moving our sailboat to our DREAM destination (& sailing the Chasing Bubbles boat) | Ep. 14
Переглядів 10 тис.14 днів тому
2 years ago we flew from Key West to the USVI & BVI for our dream trip. We got engaged on Virgin Gorda, traveled around for a few weeks by land, and made it a goal to move to the VI one day. A few months later we bought Afterglow and started saving up money to make the leap into cruising life, and we finally made it to our top destination!! We will be hopping around the islands the next few mon...

Is the Mona Passage as DANGEROUS as people say? | Sailing Afterglow Ep. 12
Переглядів 4,7 тис.Місяць тому
The Mona Passage seemed a bit intimidating from what we had heard before our crossing from the Dominican Republic to Puerto Rico. Not only were we a bit out of practice after not moving our boat for almost 3 months, it was our longest sail on our boat ever. If you Google "Mona Passage," the first recommendation to search is "Mona Passage dangerous." We picked a weather window with 5kts forecast...

    Hope you guys enjoyed Culebra. Sorry I did not get to say hello. The longer you stay here, the more it grows on you. Great community. What did you guys think of Flamenco beach? The east point of Vieques is almost always really rough. Seas build at that point and you get very steep waves. Can be very fun if you enjoy getting the toe rail in the water! Safe travels

    Good video guys. Pro Tip for rolling anchorages. It’s called The Bridle. Take a stern line (what side to use will depend on pointing the bow into the waves) and tie it to your anchor chain (after it is set). Let out a good amount of more chain (20-30 feet, you judge, could be more or less) then winch the stern line on the Genoa sheet winch and winch your bow into the waves. Works really well. Peaceful sleep. 😴 💤 😊👍

    Hope you enjoyed Vieques. We were there in early 80's, hoping to buy land, but did not. Military owned east end of island and was active (bombing range) and west end of island (ammunition depot) at the time. Stayed at Casa del Frances in Esperanza, turn of century open courtyard hacienda turned inn, but burned down in late 1990s/ early 2000's. Had great time swimming in bioluminescent bay and watching local boys ride the wild horses after tempting them with a carrot. The 1960's movie "Lord of the Flies" filmed on island, including the small island off Esperanza, and parts of mainland PR. Crew stayed at Casa. You did have a fairly uneventful Mona Passage crossing and east bound cruise on South coast.
