Folsom Ocean Views

Welcome to Folsom Ocean Views! We are two city kids that bought a 2017 Leopard 40 catamaran in the middle of a pandemic. Why? Because if we’ve learned one thing in 2020 it’s that there is no time like the present. With very little prior experience, join us as we learn the ropes, or lines, and as we explore and experience the world.

We spent the last ~20 years totally landlocked in the heart of Atlanta, Georgia. Charles made his way down to the Empire State of the South from VA Beach to attend college at Georgia Tech. Jes, a native Kansas girl, moved to the area in high school and eventually matriculated form University of Georgia.

We met at our first job out of college in 2007, and were married by 2012. We are both still working our AMAZING jobs as a way of supporting our dream of living a bit outside of the lines.

If you’ve ever thought about making the move from White Collar to No Collar, join us as we figure it out!
