Welcome to our sailing blog!

Nice to meet you!

We’re Pati and Dave, a young Swiss couple looking for adventure!

As newbies, we bought Milagros, a 44-foot sailboat and did an extensive refit in 2021 to get her ready to cruise. We immerse into the sailing world, learn the ropes and always try to fail forward. Currently we’re exploring Mexico as liveaboard cruisers and digital nomads.

Take part in our adventure by following our sailing blog! At worst we’ll be looking for a shower, food and a place to stay, at best we’ll be able to tell you loads of cool stories. Or maybe both.

Join us on our journey, hop on board!

xoxo,
Pati and Dave
