Sailing the Southern Seas

After years of dreaming, planning, and hard work, we’re finally sailing the islands of the South Pacific. We are thousands of miles from any continental land mass. We live in daily awe of the extraordinary natural beauty surrounding us on land and at sea.

We are sailing in remote places, but we’re not entirely alone. Each new anchorage offers a chance to meet local people and experience rich cultural traditions.

We sail in the loose company of a tribe of like-minded cruisers following the trade winds around the world. Their camaraderie provides emotional and material support along the way.

The ocean cruising life is anything but a life of leisure. In the toughest times we remember that the path is the goal. Obstacles and rewards alike offer us the opportunity to live life fully.

We invite you to follow along with us as we experience the joys and hardships of life at sea. Follow us on social media using the links below, or hit the subscribe button to receive email notifications when we post new blog entries.
