A family returns to Mexico to rewrite a cursed sailing trip—and finds magic in windblown anchorages and wildlife-rich waters.

Is cruising with a young family the right choice?

A large—and still growing—family spreads their wings aboard a high-performance trimaran.

The Totem crew discusses one of the less pleasant sides of cruising.

A young sailor reminisces about how he (finally) came to love the cruising life.

Since misery should be optional as a cruiser, the Totem crew has moved ashore while their boat has major work done in the yard.

A young family chooses a different sort of cruising experience when they charter a 21-foot Sea Pearl for a week in the Bahamas’ Exuma Islands.

Now that Totem is out of the water, the crew reflects on how the Coppercoat antifouling is holding up.

While cruising boats from the ’70s and ’80s might still have a lot going for them, keeping them seaworthy can involve a long to-do list.

A brief passage north to the top of the Sea of Cortez offers the Totem crew winds and calm, peace and plenty.

The upcoming storm season is the perfect time to tick items off of the chore list.
