Our Story
A little bit about us
We’re Jeff & Claire. We met in early 2020, right before the Covid pandemic hit the United States, and spent the next year or so hunkered down with our kids and a dog in a 1300 sq ft, two bedroom apartment. If there was ever a time to see if we liked each other, it was then, while also offering valuable preparation for living and working in tight quarters!
Together we achieved what many consider the pinnacle of the "dream life" - the house, cars, kids, and stable careers. We quickly realized it wasn't for us (the possessions - not the kids, we love our kids!). We reached a point where we stopped playing it safe and decided to take our biggest leap of faith yet. So, we completely flipped the script to do life in a whole new way - by living full-time on a boat.
About Jeff
Jeff has always carried a dream of sailing, even though he knew nothing about it when he first started. He’s now the one trimming sails, planning routes, doing boat upgrades, and uncovering the best local spots wherever our adventures take us.
About Claire
Hi there!
My childhood summers were spent on the beaches of Australia and no matter where I am in the world, give me a beach with some good waves... and I will feel right at home.
I had dreamed of being able to travel the world full-time once my eldest daughter left for college. The dream I had visualized was more along the lines of making my way around Europe in a car & staying at Airbnbs along the way. However, that dream manifested itself in the style of a sailboat on the East Coast of the US - and here we are!
With zero sailing experience, I have embraced the adventure, and I am super excited to explore more of the world by boat!
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.
