Hand steering for 3,000 nm across the Pacific is something no sailor wants to face but here we are.

Sailing is our means of transportation and the boat our platform from which to explore. We are now travelers, not tourists. Witnesses to different cultures, ways of living, eating, working and playing. 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.

We have been working on getting boat insurance for the past month and we finally secured a policy that fit our budget! Within two hours we fired the engines and were on our way to PANAMA!!! We were so excited to officially kick off our voyage sailing around the world!

We are continuing our quest to live from the sea but are starting to wonder if that’s possible! Thirty cays make up the Berry Islands, dangling like a cluster of fruit along the eastern edge of the Great Bahama Bank. Unspoiled, serene and mostly uninhabited, they are known for white-sand beaches, palm-fringed shores, blue holes, and near some islands, prolific fishing grounds. Join us for an escape to this idyllic paradise.

So many people dream about living on a boat and sailing around the world. But it’s a big risk. You need to leave everything behind. We’re sharing everything we’ve learned living on and sailing our new catamaran over 4000 nautical miles, the safety and comfort upgrades, how much it cost to maintain and run a new sailing catamaran for a year, and answer the question, would we do it again?
