We bought the boat, daysailed the boat, and have taken our first overnight trip to Milwaukee. Now we’re planning to sail up and down the west coast of Michigan, during which we want to spend some time at anchor.
Until now, family and friends have always sailed with us on our Tartan 37, but this time we sail her by ourselves, up to Milwaukee and back.

The sailboat hunt is on! We drive from San Diego, California to Guaymas, Mexico to see a catamaran named Imi Loa.

We escaped the traditional 9-to-5 life, sold off all our belongings, and left an idyllic Southern California lifestyle in search of what lies beyond the horizon. We’ve spent the last 10 years [...]
