- Our time had come to finally set off and start our 4th season! It’s time to leave St Augustine, shake the dust out of our sails, and get back to living our life on the water.
Come sail with us on our shakedown cruise as we make our way from St. Augustine down to West Palm Beach, Florida. Despite an early hiccup with a jammed main sail, it is about as smooth and relaxing a journey as we could have wished for. We saw dolphins, sang songs, and even witness the most magical moon setting right next to a lit-up rocket.
We hope you enjoy! Let us know what you’d like to see more or less of in our future videos.
Cheers and happy New Year!

Good passage down the east coast of Florida,sure is some beautiful scenery there!glad you got the main being James fixed,You will never make that mistake again I promise 😊you may can spray some silicon or something to make the sail cover slide easily in and out of the track.If if does it again the canvas Sun protection would have to be removed if it were mine.You did great dealing with it I think 👍.Your little 15:21 girl is so cute and a big talker.Good video too!!😊
good to see you back!
Thanks for confirming that I don't want an in-mast furling system. I had a previous bad experience on a charter boat. The main got stock trying to furl it as we were getting back to the marina. Lucky for us, It was not windy. I can only imagine what would happen if it get stock while we really need to reduce sail. Thanks for the video. Can wait to go back sailing.
Yeah it’s a mixed bag for sure. It’s very easy to put out and take in (when it works!) but this was our concern from the beginning. You’d best believe we triple check our lines from now on and hope we don’t get caught in a truly dangerous position in the future.
I was taught that the way to clear an in-mast jam is to:
1. Keep slight tension on the outhaul.
2. Winch gently on the in-haul until you feel the jam clear.
That process smooths out the wrinkle that caused the jam. Try that if/when it happens again.
My initial thought was to pull it back in with outhaul tension. Cat/Will, did you try this?
Your journey reflects our own in 2022. We made it all the way to Georgetown before heading back. So many good memories and challenges. Thank you to the Monday Never Family!
I love watching your journey! I loved the rocket shot all lit up and I also loved when you baby girl asked if she could come out there with Cat... (her eyes
Been watching you guys since the beginning a few years back, including your Ural adventures. It's great seeing you back on the water and keeping it real. Thanks for taking the time to bring us along. I love the White Marlin Open shirt as that is in my home town of Ocean City, Md.
Thanks so much Ed. We still look back on our Ural adventures and laugh. Thanks for sticking with us!! We got invited to the White Marlin Open back in 2016 and it was a magical experience. Love Ocean City and hope our paths cross one day soon! - Cheers, Cat, Will and Maddie
Amazing shot of the moon and rocket!
It was pretty incredible to experience!

Really have missed your channel. Keep up the good work. I can relate to the in mast issues. I finally had to bite the bullet and order a new main sail since my old one was blown out and would jam every time I tried to unfurl it! Every time!! I have found it's better to work it back and forth to get it to release however, you did a great job. I know the video did not express your frustration! Look forward to your next post. be safe and stay happy.

Thanks Paul and Linda! Sorry to hear about your sail troubles. Unfortunately it’s always something 🥹 but that makes the rewards that much greater!!! Hope to see you out there! - Cat, Will and Maddie
If I shut my eyes all I can hear is Chevy Chase....
That’s what everyone says 😂. I (Cat) don’t hear it … but that’s probably for the best
