Our Journey
What, Where and Why
We are sailing the world with our kids, while continuing to work. We are capturing our journey with blogs and videos with the aim of helping others interested in taking a leap into this lifestyle. We also hope to inspire and encourage others to live full and balanced lives.
Our planned route for 2023 starts in the Bahamas and takes us south to the Virgin Islands, down the leeward and windward Caribbean, across the Antilles and to Cartagena, Columbia. There we hope to ready for a Panama Canal transit and Pacific crossing in 2024.
