Two years ago, we didn’t know a halyard from a hitch. Today, we are our own mechanics, navigators, and storytellers.

Sailing Tengai is a living record of our life along the Mexican coast and beyond—the breathtaking anchorages, the engine room battles, and the freedom of the Sea.

Our Log Book

Maiden Sail: ⛵ From Panic to Paradise! 

We dive headfirst into the challenges of boat maintenance and face the thrill (and nerves) of taking our sailboat out for the first time!...

Moving onboard, no going back now!

Life on our 1989 Catalina 36 begins. Moving onto a sailboat is equal parts romance and logistics...

We Bought A Sailboat… Our Crazy Journey Begins! 🌊⛵

Ever wondered what it feels like to be floating powerless in the middle of the ocean?...

Our Horizon Chaser

A 1989 Catalina 36 MK I designed for comfort and built for adventure. From the expansive cockpit perfect for whale watching to the cozy teak-lined interior, Tengai is our self-sufficient home in the Mexican Pacific. Sturdy, spacious, and sea-kindly, she is the heart of every journey we take.

“Overall, this was a truly beautiful, 10 out of 10 experience, and I will definitely be seeing them again for round 2! Thanks for the wonderful adventure!”
