Hi there, we're William & Colleen, a couple of average empty nesters with a dream of exploring the open seas.
We were hooked after a memorable vacation to Mexico in 2023, where we had some unforgettable experiences on a Hobie Wave and a charter catamaran.
We're still new to sailing and learning the ropes (literally).
Our goal is to sharpen our knowledge enough to one day embark on an extended coastal or even Caribbean cruise.
Join us on our journey and discover the thrill of sailing through our eyes as we share our own unique adventures.

Beneteau Sailboat - Sailing Update & Foot Injury!
The mast is almost ready to be stepped, but setbacks with the rigger have pushed the timeline back. In the meantime, I'm sharing some footage from recent sail this year.
Despite a minor (and mysterious!) foot injury, we enjoyed a beautiful day on the water. We even replaced our torn headsail with a freshly repaired jib.
This video also includes glimpses from earlier this year, showcasing the challenges and joys of bringing our neglected Beneteau back to life.
Stay tuned for updates on the mast stepping and our upcoming sailing courses in Kemah!

Great video thanks for sharing 😊
@@Fishy_Things thanks!
Keep up the great work!
@@WScottGreene Thanks! I’m roughly half way to my goal
Bay waters are hovering around 60 degrees now. Where you touched bottom was an exposed sandbar when I was young, It was called sunfish island.
Thanks dude, I am looking forward to your next 235 upgrade vids.
@@slimdog72 fingers crossed that the mast is stepped this coming week.
I love footage of sailing at dust.
@@ColleenCox-d3u wish the camera would show the actual night sail.
Very cool!
Nice Hobie
I love the spiral footage.
I have never seen a mast taken down. It does look very heavy.
@@ColleenCox-d3u all aluminum, but it’s the system of standing rigging that helps provide the strength.
Mast step.
@@jkepleriv thanks!! Now I know.
Thanks for this. We bought a 235 last summer and have not had it in the water yet. We plan on doing work to it in the spring. We need to do the mast base, as ours is the first gen base and cracked.
Glad this video helped, let me know if you have any other questions, I might have some insight.
They are so pretty.
Very informative and straight to the point. I’m not sure if my directionally challenged self could ever sail at night 😂.
@@kw1399 thankfully modern boats have electronics, which makes me respect the sailors that were navigating the seas 200 years ago.
Very interesting.
@@ColleenCox-d3u this is one of my favorite nautical facts
Very cool video!
@@WScottGreene thanks Scott!
I don’t know how you can see at night!
Once your eyes it’s not too bad, but it’s completely new to me.
Did not know this.
Good job
@@ColleenCox-d3u thanks!
Fun facts
@@ColleenCox-d3u indeed!
Love the birds!
Love the special effects
Love the Turtlebox
@@ColleenCox-d3u great addition to the toy box
Looks like a god time!
@@ColleenCox-d3u even a bad day on the water, is a really good day. 😆
Love the sound of the waves hitting the boat.
Great video! Enjoy the journey of learning the craft!
@@WScottGreene thanks for the encouragement!
Looks like a great time! I love the dolphins ❤
@@kw1399 no matter how many times we see the dolphins, we still get excited.
It looks great and I rarely see a haunted pirate ship theme! Lots is hard work went into that and you can tell. Can’t wait to see what next year brings!
Thanks so much! I really appreciate the compliment.
Amazing views and great sailing
The camera never truly captures the beauty on the water.
Dang! Your wife is hot!
😂😂 yes, she is!
Beautiful water shots.
Thanks! It was a gorgeous day on the water.
This was an excellent description of learning to sail. I can't wait to give it a try.
Glad to hear it! You know where I’m at, if you ever want to go.
Beautiful sunset
It’s hard to not go with the less expensive tools.
@@ColleenCox-d3u agreed! Often, it is cheaper to buy the more expensive tool.
Very cool!
I did not know this!
Good insight
Thanks!
Nice video and great sailing with you!!
This is fantastic!!!
I appreciate the comment, because the world of video editing and how to arrange content is completely foreign to me. Soon, I hope to make an attempt at voiceover videos.
Thanks!
