Exploration
Untide
Untide follows a 1970 Swan 37, Elixir, through an around-the-world sailing journey spanning offshore passages, refit work and time ashore. The recent run is dominated by concise, near-daily videos, using stormy crossings, Fiji arrivals, boat work and coastal exploration as recurring narrative moments. It best serves viewers seeking visual sailing travel and an ongoing personal voyage; hazardous conditions are part of the storytelling rather than a substitute for seamanship guidance.

Untide: A Swan 37’s Round-the-World Passage
Main focus
Untide follows Elixir, a 1970 Swan 37, through a round-the-world sailing project shaped by life aboard an older cruising yacht. Untide frames exploration as an ongoing voyage, blending distant travel with the everyday realities of moving by sea.
Why it matters
Choose this source for a continuing companion to an ocean-going journey rather than a destination checklist. Elixir’s passage gives sailing, travel, and onboard routines a shared narrative thread across Untide.
Style
A continuing voyage aboard a vintage cruising yacht gives Untide a travel-diary character, with the boat itself anchoring the story. Exploration and practical onboard context sit alongside the broader round-the-world narrative.
Consistency
Elixir’s single round-the-world project provides a clear through-line, linking sailing passages, travel discoveries, and the routines of maintaining life aboard an older yacht.
- Round-the-world sailing
- Life aboard a cruising yacht
- Long-distance voyage narratives
- Travel by sea

Editorial note
Treat navigation, seamanship, and maintenance observations as personal voyage context; consult current charts, manuals, weather guidance, and qualified local advice before making decisions on the water.
