SmoCo Sailing
We're Armand, Liya, and our doodle Pinot. In July 2024, we sailed off from Monterey, California aboard our sailboat Cosmo and began the biggest adventure of our lives. Since then, we've been sailing Mexico and beyond, sharing the real highs and lows of full-time cruising. From remote anchorages and incredible wildlife encounters to boat projects, spearfishing, weather, and everything that breaks in between.
Our goal is simple: explore beautiful places, live life on our own terms, and share the journey honestly.
So grab a drink, pull up a seat in the cockpit, and come sailing with us. New episodes every week.

Yesterday we celebrated our 2-year cruising anniversary, anchored in yet another incredible place (see image in the previous post).
We're so grateful to be living this adventure, exploring the world by sea and sharing it with all of you. Thank you for subscribing, watching, and following along through the highs, the lows, and the wonderfully chaotic moments that come with this lifestyle.
We know our videos are still a bit behind in real time, but we've actually come to love it that way. Editing each episode lets us relive the adventure all over again, and we hope you enjoy coming along for the ride.
Thanks for being part of the journey. Here's to many more miles, memories, and adventures ahead!
-Armand & Liya & Pinot

We've got plenty more adventures ahead, but we're curious...
What kind of content would you like to see more of alongside our regular travels?
Boat projects? Upgrades? Troubleshooting? "How we..." videos? Fishing and spearfishing? Passage planning? Life aboard? Something completely different?
Drop your ideas below—we read all of your comments and would love to hear what interests you most.

If you’ve ever wondered what products we use on Cosmo, from our outboard wingfoils to the solar café lights in the cockpit, we put together an Amazon storefront with some of our favorite boat gear from back when we had access to Amazon US.
This isn’t everything we’ve bought for the boat, just the items we’ve actually loved, found useful, and think are worth taking up valuable boat real estate.
