Did We Almost LOSE OUR MAST?!
Did we almost lose our mast is a question that arose after a series of unexpected events. The story begins with the simple decision to buy a new head sail which set off a chain reaction leading to the ultimate explosive question no sailor ever wants to face.

The moral of this story is that our decisions, even those that seem straightforward, like adding a new sail to our inventory, can lead us to uncover and resolve issues that might have otherwise remained hidden, with potentially serious consequences. It's a vivid reminder of the interconnected nature of our choices and actions, especially in an environment as dynamic and unpredictable as the sea.

If you're new here, Harbors Unknown is the story of two dreamers, Kristin & Fabio Potenti, & our dog Yoda. We're a small family living aboard our catamaran, SV Wanderlust, sailing to Harbors Unknown. Exploring the world, connecting with people and places through the local cuisine, and showing how great food can be cooked on a boat with limited space and resources. Seeking to balance the desire to explore and travel to beautiful, remote locations while leaving no footprint, minimizing the Hawthorne effect of the observers who change the environment she or he observes.

We hope to inspire people and showcase the possibility of living an alternative lifestyle that provides freedom and fulfillment, all while keeping it real. Sharing the trials and tribulations of living off-grid, acknowledging the discomfort of detoxing from the modern world, finding pleasure in the subtleties of nature and joy in simplicity. Attempting to understand what makes the world tick and tock but also trying to gain a deeper comprehension of ourselves and identify what will satisfy that hunger for further exploration, for purpose. We have set off on our voyage sailing around the world! Subscribe now to join our sailing adventure.
