View our refitted BLUE WATER OCEAN SAILBOAT. Look inside and see what has changed after a mammoth refit and how we have prepared her for her next challenge. We have applied what we have learned over 50,000 miles of offshore sailing onboard, and over 7 years of the liveaboard lifestyle.

@BandG

We have been sailing around the world for 8 years after setting off from England in 2016 on board our 37ft sail boat Florence. Now we are re-fitting her ready for the next adventure. Join us as we share the highs, lows, and challenges of travelling around the world by boat, Sailing offshore across the Oceans and exploring remote locations with our own little tiny house.

I think the biggest challenge you faced was not the work, it was the stress and tension, not to mention the fatigue you endured through it all.The true beauty is the love, patience and strength you gained from each other. Florence is looking great, but your love and devotion to each other truly brings life to her. God Bless !

Good to see Florence back in the water. She's looking amazing, really reflects the hard work you have both put in, congratulations on a brilliant refurb.

I know it’s 8 months ago . I have been watching every episode since you were in lockdown . This is the first time I have cringed at your music. Some woman screeching about sailing . I will be watching you continuously . Hope not to hear that screaming woman . Your music has always been divine . Love your channel so much . Hugs from South Africa. It’s 17 th Feb 25 today .

The two of you are such a compatible couple in every way. Love Amy's blue dress. It really illuminates your lovely smile.

Matt, Amy, your refit and upgrades are just wonderful. Personally, having owned some sail boats in my own past, I think your knowledge base of Florence, all the refit parts and their function is HUGE, and the bigger part. WELL DONE, folks. I have watched for a long time, your circumnavigation. Have grown truly fond of you, way more than I deserve, as I’ve watched and listened to you and you wouldn’t know me. Please know that there are a lot of us that care and worry for you out on blue water. May God be with you….from east Tennessee.

You two are a loving couple. The end of this video was emotional with you explaining the hard work both of you endured. Very nice of your parents to cook you meals and have a place to stay. All the best to future adventures.

Your honesty and transparency at the end of this refit video is the true inspiration. You are both legends. Thank you. C

As someone who has built 4 boats (and was working on them today) I really like the addendum you put on the video. I see a lot of videos from people who make refits look easy and fun. There will be times when you wish you hadn't started and the only thing you can do is grit your teeth and plug on. The vast majority of popular yacht sailing videos do not show the real world of ownership and the mental struggles to keep on going when life is passing you by and you make very slow progress on the build. So great advice to keep things simple and get out there. Cheers Phil

You two have made what could have been a very boring vlog and turned it into a great one. Keep it going for many years to come.

Doing the job as well as you possibly can is a fairly vital component of doing anything on which your lives depend. While some people might find the attention to detail - and the ability to have caring parents who will pick up the slack so you can go hell for leather - difficult to achieve, the principle of doing the job correctly, and to the purpose desired the first time is in itself an inspirational and important goal. Florence is your home, your womb, your lifeboat. It's vital that her hull and spars, her deck and instruments and everything on board is the best you can build and afford - your lives are depending on her, and on your work. Don't undersell that.

Your videos have been inspirational and enjoyable, for the pragmatism, knowledge, skill, understanding, and professionalism you've displayed in each and every one. They are the most informative and realistic depictions of travelling the world by sailing yacht, with the ups and downs that mode of travel brings, the joys and the fears and the frustrations. I hope you'll keep sailing, exploring, adventuring and sharing those experiences.

Everything looks great! One note as a long time cold weather backpacker- you can permanently decrease the loft (and therefore the r-value) of down gear (jackets, sleeping bags, etc.) by storing them under compression. The jackets-as-pillow-stuffing idea is a clever use of space, but I would be careful not to damage your warm weather gear over time by keeping them stored like that.

I love the idea of using the pillows for soft storage!! ❤ Personal AND practical!

So glad you added the coda at the end about the realities of what you've just undertaken. Compressing 12-18 months of refit into 8 months is simultaneously heroic and totally crazy, not to mention filming and editing and managing a YT channel along the way. So fantastic to see Florence looking so great, and you both smiling at the end, but the sheer amount of blood, sweat and tears you've mostly left to our imaginations and having been there I know what an amazing feeling it is to actually get out there again.

The best bit is how quickly the pain recedes in our memeories. Amy, your toe-rail synposis rings very true to us too . There are so many jobs that we seriously regretted undertaking during and in the immediate aftermath, and now are grateful every day that we did.

Congratulations and happy sailing!

All I can say is WOW! Florence is beautiful 😊

Highly recommend a air dehumidifier to keep condensation in control. We use it during cold spring and fall sails in Sweden (and when our 2 golden retrievers are wet). Also doubles as a drier when washing cloths and you can’t hang-dry outside.

We put the Froli system under our mattress and we get no condensation and it’s much more comfortable.

You have done amazing work to make your boat an Artic Adventure. I look forward to viewing the Artic Adventure of a Life Time. You have earned this new travel experience.😊

I figure roughly 1800 hours in six months will give anyone wanting to purchase a boat a rough idea the amount of hard work necessary to do a major refit for Northern latitude sailing.
Florence looks almost as beautiful as Amy in her blue dress.💙
Thanks for sharing.
