WE BOUGHT A 43 YEAR OLD SAILBOAT!!!!
This week we take you back to the start ⏪
We purchased our little boat just one week before we learned we would have to move – exactly one week before purchasing our Airstream. Because we became so busy renovating our tiny home on wheels to live in in time for move-in day, our lovely boat sat in the water…it sat, and sat and sat… for many months.. growing a wildly diverse ecosystem of algae and sea faring fungus!
When the dust finally settled on our tiny home project we immediately started tackling the next big project – reviving our 70’s fiberglass sailboat!
As we find out in the coming weeks, the green and grime was just the tip of the iceberg! Are we out of our minds?! Let us know in the comments😅
She isn’t pretty right now, but over the next few weeks we’ll be working hard to bring this old beauty back to life so that we can cruise to all the amazing places here in the Pacific Northwest!
A lot has happened that we haven’t shared with you yet, and over the next few weeks we’ll be catching you up to speed so we can meet you in real time here at sea.
We’re so thrilled to be launching this sailing series and sharing this next BIG adventure with you!

WHO WE ARE
We are a couple from opposite sides of the world living an adventure based-alternative lifestyle here in the Pacific Northwest.
Our time is spent split between land & sea – living part time in our tiny home on wheels (a vintage Airstream that we converted completely ourselves) as well as living aboard our tiny home with sails ( a Catalina 30 that we’ve been restoring while teaching ourselves how to sail!).

OUR STORY
I (Allison, the Newfie) met James (the Aussie) while working on a remote island 3 years ago.
A decade working in healthcare has helped us both to appreciate the preciousness of this one beautiful life we’ve been given.
Viewing TIME as our most valuable gift, we’ve been feeling an urgency in our lives to Live All Out!
We decided to make some BOLD moves, hit PAUSE on our conventional careers & work full time, turning our DREAMS into reality.
The past 12 months we have been working towards making full-time adventure possible. The first step was downsizing and minimizing our lives to fit into a 160ft. Airstream trailer which we converted completely ourselves without any experience.
Living full time in our tiny home on wheels created the financial freedom we needed to take the next big step, buying our sailboat!
She’s another big project, but we’re ready for another challenge. And we’re pretty motivated by all the amazing ocean adventures
that lie ahead!

Much love,
