Family of 3 + 3 dogs sailing around the Mediterranean 🌎 Join our adventure!

The sea calls to those who listen—it speaks of freedom, adventure, and the unknown and maybe of little madness? We are Daria, Chris, and Jasper, sailing full-time with our two golden retrievers, Hachi and Luna. We recently said goodbye to our beloved Bernese Mountain Dog, Mimsy (RIP 09.02.2025).

Ragdoll, has taken us from west coasts of Scotland to the Mediterranean. After two years aboard a 47ft monohull, in December 2024, we’ve set sail on a 2008 Fountaine Pajot Orana 44 catamaran and we're learning... slowly! Full-time work, homeschooling, storms, sunsets keep us busy.

🐾 Who We Are:
- A family of three + two adventure-loving dogs
- Exploring the world by sailboat, from Scotland to the Med
- No fixed route—just following the wind

See you around!
Daria & Chris, Jasper & the borking woofballs!


Sailing Ragdoll

Hey everyone! We’re super excited to let you know that, we finally got our s#it together with the editing AND new videos will now be coming your way EVERY FRIDAY! 🎉 I know, miraculous - I'm as surprised as you...

Lately, we’ve been busy with settling into our life on our catamaran, which you’ll find out more about in a couple of weeks, as we’ve moved from Poros in Greece during our first 48hr crossing to Lefkas where things went… wrong! Think sail drive alarm… it ain’t ever good!

We’ve got some updates + the inevitable boat projects coming your way (because let’s be real.. it’s a boat and there’s always something to fix! 🛠️).

Whether you’ve been here from the start or just recently found our channel, we appreciate every comment, like, and share 🤙🏻

Let us know in the comments what you’d love to see more of! 👇 Are you here for the sailing, the travel, the boat projects, or just the laid-back, salty lifestyle? ⛵

See you this Friday for the next video as we BOMB it through the Straits of Messina! 🎥✨

P.S Here are some shots from our last anchorage!

Till next time! 🤙🏻

Sailing Ragdoll

As we wait out some mad weather systems, we’re in Lagos marina knocking off some projects during rainy and windy spells. We’ve had some lovely days here though! This week we took a scenic walk along the coastline and it didn’t disappoint! (absolute must-do when visiting this charming town!) 

The Ponta de Piedade walk, offers stunning cliff formations, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and hidden caves... Ideally you don’t want to do this walk in sandals, if you’re planning on going off paths… and I speak from experience! 😂 

The walk takes you along a well-marked path (sandals are absolutely fine here) allowing you to soak in the panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean. 🌊👀 We still can’t quite believe we’ve sailed here! 

At the end of the walk, you'll reach a staircase that leads down to the beach….The views will leave you in awe. 🥹

Loving Lagos 🇵🇹 

New Episode Coming TONIGHT! 🎉

We have crossed over from Scotland to Cornwall in 3.5 days at sea! (video is coming SOON!)

Currently waiting in Penzance Harbour for a weather window to cross the Bay of Biscay and head to Spain. The anticipation is high! We've been keeping a close eye on the weather forecast, waiting for the perfect (or at least reasonable) conditions to set sail. It's now a waiting game as a bit of a weather system passes through..

In the meantime, we're enjoying the beautiful scenery and exploring the charming town of Penzance whilst knocking off some boat jobs and eating way too much ice cream excited for the adventure ahead.

Have you crossed the Bay of Biscay? If you had to give us one piece of advice, what would it be? ⛵️

P.S This was the sunrise on the morning of our crossing!

Sailing Ragdoll

Our life right now is all about preparing Ragdoll & tidying up our 'land life' before we move aboard Ragdoll over the coming weeks, before we finally set off to the Mediterranean for a couple of years.. or longer? Who knows?

Check out our latest episode to find out more about our sailing plans for 2023.

We plan to leave the UK in late March/early April this year and our to-do list, at the moment, seems never-ending. Kudos to full time sailors who have done this before us, because, well... it's not that simple. Especially when you have children, dogs and full time jobs to take care of.

Excitement in our house is through the roof... as are the nerves.

Any tips & trips to make the transitions easier, are as always, most welcome!

Fair winds to you all & thank you all for subscribing ⛵️
