About the Litzenbergers

We are Breena and Spencer (or Bee and Pickle if you watch our videos). We started sailing in our 20's and really loved it. We've figured out that we are able to sail for seasons at a time if we sell the boat at the end of 2 seasons, to save on storage while we go back to work. It's led to us owning 6 sailboats and cruising a lot of differing coasts. Some times we've loved it and some times we've hated it, but we document it all for friends, family and now a great community of "Fries!" Follow along on YouTube, Instagram or even with our Podcast! We hope you enjoy!

Here's a little about each of our trips

Flapjack Octopus

Our newest boat and what we believe to be the best value we have gotten...we have yet to actually sail her, so keep that in mind. She's a mix between a blue water boat and a racer turned cruiser. We'll be sailing her in the Caribbean this upcoming season!

Cambio

A 33'Bruce Roberts Spray design, we bought this beefy queen in Rio Dulce Guatemala and sailed her for two seasons in Belize and then onward to Maryland were we put her up for sale. She was steel and we are not welders, so it wasn't the perfect medium for us, but damn was she a comfortable, blue water boat!

Millennial Falcon

By far our least favorite boat, the Searunner 37! We were really disappointed with the trimaran and after sailing her from the top of Vancouver Island to San Fransisco, we cut our losses, sold her and headed to the land of cheap boats for a monohull! To see why we didn't like her, click here.

Emma

In an attempt to try a different travel method, we rebuilt this FJ40 Land Cruiser with the help of Spencer's Dad! And by rebuilt, I mean we assembled her from the frame up...every....bolt. It was a 2 year project with the intent to drive to South America. But we missed sailing so we stopped the trip in Guatemala and bought a boat instead.

Hedgehog

This adorable little nugget is a Westerly Windrush 25. She was our attempt to squeeze out an extra season of cruising with very little cash. We got her for $3,000, sailed her to the Bahamas and had a great time. She had a large outboard locker so her living space and cockpit really amounted to a cozy 22'. We were real close on that trip!

Lorax

Our first ever boat, an Irwin Citation, 30 feet in length. We knew nothing about sailing, boating or cruising when we bought this boat for $6,000 and sailed her to the Bahamas. I (Bee) cried everyday for the first month (not an exaggeration) but after getting used to the lifestyle and sailing we both loved it and couldn't imagine our life without sailing in it.
