With a 24 hour weather window to cross the notorious Tehuantepec Bay here in Mexico, we set our sails and begin the 250 nautical mile sail.

*About Us*
We are Becka and Zach, a couple who, in 2020, dreamt of sailing off into the big blue. Trouble is- we were in a pandemic, had a university degree to finish, on a student budget, only had ever sailed dingies, oh and didn’t have a boat. The dream seemed not only unrealistic but pretty insane.
However, we worked hard, finished our degrees, worked as many hours as physically possible, saved with all our might, got experience and in March 2022 bought our very own sailboat, Teulu. Having little sailing experience and being a young couple, we have encountered a tonne of hurdles and made plenty of mistakes! but for every downfall, there has always been a reason to dust ourselves off and carry on.
We hope you can join us as we sail around the world and keep #bloodydoingit

We are now onto Chapter 5 in our playlist series here on Youtube. In the next year you will follow us all the way from Mexico to Canada, with over 4000 nautical miles covered (mainly upwind!). So if you like a good old BASH, click subscribe and let us know, if you like beating up wind, or if your more about the downwind trade winds 🌬
Great to see you back in the water sailing, Teulu is looking fantastic.
Happy New Year to you both.
Thank you.
Gosh, I get exhausted just watching your videos! That must be because I am 84.
How do you say you're exhausted with out saying you're exhausted? Becka said it perfectly! 😊
I couldn't imagine getting a new car and not driving it for 6 months! Patience is a true virtue you have in spades!
Recommended stops along your way. San Diego’s mission bay. Balboa, CA, (would be cool to see you guys get In n Out Burger.) Long Beach, CA. Would be fun to go up in to San Fran. Would be awesome to see Teulu to sail under the Golden Gate Bridge. Stay safe! You’ve earned your salt!
Nothing better than looking at your boat and thinking isn't she/he a beauty!
A shared project is also really good for relationships too..
It depends how old you are!
I was just in Punta Mita and saw your boat at the marina. I can’t wait to start my own adventure. Stoked for you ‼️
Tell Parker to give us an update!
When you passed La Crucecita, it would be interesting to know how the depth changed when you went over the drop off.
Milho is pronounced meelyo.
You are bloody doing it, again! Wishing you a wonderful 2025. Please also send our regards to Parker and let him know we miss his videos. Cheers guys!
I love Pacific coastal fog.
I’m so happy to see the two of you doing what you love again! You made some huge improvements to the boat but working that hard day after day is exhausting and it’s easy to lose sight of the goal. When Becka said the fires were lit again, I actually teared up a little. Thanks for sharing your joy with us!
Wow, just wow. Brilliant Milestone episode. The recap intro was spot on, and the music was so touching. 8,000 miles and 1,000+ days at sea… You ARE Bloody Doing It!
You guys are SLAYING it 💣
Nice to see you on the water again. Would swap your 18 degrees for our 9 degrees in the UK or 30 degrees in Brisbane. Happy New Year to you both.
what accent do you have?
I have an Israeli accent.
And, my mother is American also
In light of your comment on the smell of trees, I am excited for you to make it to the Pacific NW and the Salish Sea (aka Puget Sound). The waters up into Canada in the summer are full of densely forested areas that are fantastic to explore. I look forward to seeing you explore my home cruising grounds. Cheers from Seattle WA
Did you really need to use the winch to lift the dinghy? Must have been a heavy night – I dig that lol
Great to see the Smiles on your faces after a hard six Months.⛵
You guys are bloody doing it. And you earned it! ❤
Ya said brother, all boats are built for sea, not marinas👍🇺🇲🇺🇲👍❤️
Congratulations on being open to new dishes. I know the Brazilian curau de milho. It is really a good & practical option on a vessel. All ingredients last very long time
Happy New Year!
Good to see you guys back on the move. I know it was super disappointing for you guys to have to sit out one season but your boat now is really so much better. Just curious how you guys are able to finance all these upgrades is it really just youtube or you are trust fund babies ? 🙂

‘Chase the weather instead of being chased by it’ is an excellent motto. One could even expand on this and say: Chase Life instead of being chased by it 😊
Happy new year ❤
Chapter 5,,,so excited to see you back on the move again.
Awesome 👍
