Find Out If Can We OUTRUN A STORM? [Ep. 16]

We try to outrun a storm by sailing 200 miles in 24 hours. Can we make it? The weather window is about to slam shut...HARD!!!! We sail from Miami, across the gulf stream again, towards Eleuthera, in the Bahamas to spend Christmas in the Caribbean.

About Us:

So who are we?

We are Kate and Curtis, a YouTube sailing couple, with our sailing rescue dog Roxy, aboard SV Sweet Ruca, a J-Boats J/46 monohull.

We used to be sailboat racers on the great lakes (we still are...kind of). We bought a sailboat, re-fit it, with a goal to sail around the world via the capes (Cape Horn and the Cape of Good Hope). Some say this is the wrong way or the hard way. To us, the challenge is part of the journey.

We will see if this will happen or not, as the "new normal" has put quite a damper on our travels. For now, we are holed up in the Windward Islands of the Caribbean making videos and scuba diving.

We are not Sailing La Vagabonde, Expedition Evans, Sailing Doodles, Sailing Uma, Project Atticus, MJ Sailing, Gone With the Wynns, or SV Delos.

We aren't Vendee Globe Race or Volvo Ocean Race sailors, although sometimes Curtis wishes he was one. We don't have a fancy catamaran, but we do have a pretty and fast monohull sailboat.

Cruising catamarans like the Fountaine Pajot's, Leopards, and Lagoons can't keep up, but we still like them ;-)

We hope you enjoy our videos and join us on our journey via our YouTube Channel.

'Till Next Time :-)
