Anchors Down, Dreams Up
Trading Possessions for Ocean Life
This is our story of trading it all in — the house, car & more — for a life on the water and the adventure of sailing.
Hi there!
We're Jeff & Claire. One of our life mottos is "do what's easy". However, one may argue that we are doing the complete opposite.
We are leaving behind the comfort of familiar routines and life on solid ground, for a more challenging, yet fulfilling way of life (for us, anyway)—a life where the sound of waves lapping against the hull becomes the soundtrack of our days, and the vast expanse of the ocean serves as our ever-changing workplace.
Why wait for retirement to embark on the adventure of a lifetime? That's our philosophy as we set sail to experience the world aboard our boat. Too often, the dream of traveling the world is relegated to the retirement bucket list—a distant goal to be pursued once the traditional nine-to-five grind is behind us. But we refuse to adhere to that script.
With the wind as our ally, and our work laptops fired up, we're gearing up to explore the US East Coast, Bahamas, and Caribbean, while also juggling our careers, and carve our path across the ocean aboard our new home—a sailboat.
We encourage you to come along for the journey as we navigate this new way of life by following our blog and on social media!
IN THE END… We only regret the chances we didn’t take, the relationships we were afraid to have, and the decisions we waited too long to make.
- Lewis Carroll
