This episode has all three...YouTube, Vimeo and the Server! The server has the most fun, for sure! We hope that you enjoy this episode, th...

Rudder update...Traveling the globe?!

Last week we spoke with the Antares factory and got some really great news! Our new port rudder was ready to ship and would soon be on it’s way to Grenada! They also gave us some ‘not so’ great news which was the total cost. The rudder would be $4100.00, not including shipping. It took a few days before we found out shipping costs which would be an additional $2100.00. This is a pretty major deal. 

I know it’s an absurd amount of money but it’s a very important part of a ...

Our little Q&A recap!

We recently asked you to send in any questions that you may have, we wanted to answer them on an upcoming video. We got a great response with some really good questions. It was hard to choose from so many but we ended up selecting some that talk about editing videos, boat status, John and my little toy collection! 

I’ll go ahead and post the questions below with my bullet point answers for you to take a look at but the video goes into much more detail. Remember, this Q&A can ...

Owning a boat comes with many surprises! Some not good…

Ahh the boating life…Sipping a yummy drink while the sun sets off in the distance. Look to the right and you see palm trees swaying in the breeze…To the left and there’s a dolphin just barely breaching the water….It’s perfect! 

NOPE!

We all dream of that perfect moment with this boating thing but most realize it’s not all sundowners and bikinis! While there are amazing moments and adventure, sometimes the boating thing bites you in the butt. Remember when we got s...

Happy New Year to our amazing Patrons!

We hope you're waking up with excitement and joy for what's to come this new year! Do you have a resolution? We hope it's to get out on the open ocean with us!

We're packing up today and saying goodbye to friends and family in San Diego. Tomorrow we'll begin our journey back to the boat. We'll make a quick stop in Florida so I can spend some time with my grandfather who has been very sick and battling cancer. 

We plan to splash the boat right away and then sail to the French ...

From the U.S. Marine Corps to Sailing Full-time.

We often get questions about Jeremiah’s service and how we ended up cruising full-time once he finished up his 22 year career as a Marine, I received yet another question about it and thought it’d be a great post!

First, let us wish you and yours a wonderful Christmas and holiday season! We’re so happy to have you as a part of our lives!

Jeremiah joined the Marines in August of 1994 and left for Parris Island, SC in October of 1994 where he went through Recruit Training. Aft...

Happy Thanksgiving!

We hope you find yourself spending today doing exactly what you’d like to do, not what needs to be done! At the moment we're in a hotel room watching the Macy’s Day Parade on TV. Let’s take a moment to backtrack and get you up to speed on our plans. 

We hauled the boat out in Grenada to get some boat work done just over a week ago. We spent the first 3 days checking on her to see the progress of the boat work. Island time was in full effect! That's ok though, we've learned to...

A huge update!

Last week was full of major accomplishments so let’s start from the beginning! We managed to replace the heat exchanger on the generator which is something we’ve needed to do. It had a slow leak and was in danger of failing. It’s great now though! We got that part when we flew back to Florida and stopped by Cummins in Miami. 

We replaced the roller bearings on the bottom of our main sliding door. That was a major project that we’ve been needing to do since we bought the boa...

A LGS Server vs Vimeo Update!

We've received a few questions concerning Vimeo vs the server and all that so I thought I'd answer everything here! 

First, we've decided that we will continue to produce videos on Vimeo. Originally we thought we'd simply transition over to the server but we've had a few people say they really enjoy the Vimeo platform as well and would like us to keep going there if possible. So, that's what we'll do! It'll take a few extra steps for Jeremiah in the editing and uploading process bu...

NAKED...and surrounded! Plus: The broken dog VLOG 117

This is such a funny episode, I love it! We're stuck in a pretty perfect spot while we wait out some weather that's coming through. This episode shows how you simply live aboard while waiting out a big blow. 

We also enjoy a lunar eclipse and we take our dog for a walk...cruiser style! 

There's a Vimeo version and a archive version (those two are basically the same) if you'd like to enjoy this episode on either of those platforms! 

We hope that you enjoy it! 2019-10-09 16:40:17 +0000 UTC View Post

New things are happening!

Today we rolled out our brand new Lazy Gecko Sailing & Adventures archive to Patrons! Yes, we know it's not completely up to speed yet but we thought you should be a part of the building process! 

Our latest video is on there as well as a few others, Jeremiah is uploading more and more for your enjoyment. We won't be going public with this until we're 100% up to speed, this archive will most likely become www.lazygeckos.net and the other site will go away.
