Our Story
A little bit about us
We’re Jeff & Claire. We are two adventurous souls that are doing the crazy balancing act of juggling established careers, raising kids, and living full-time aboard a sailboat.
We met in early 2020, right before the Covid pandemic hit, and spent the next year hunkered down with our three 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
Claire's childhood summers were spent on the beaches of Australia and no matter where she is in the world being on or by the ocean is where she feels the most at home. With zero sailing experience, she’s embraced the adventure fully, and she especially loves watching sunrises and sunsets from the water.
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.
