Learning to Sail Our New Catamaran In The Bahamas
Over our first two weeks sailing our catamaran in the Bahamas we drowned a computer, ran out of cash, and met some WILD winds, and survived to tell the tale. But we didn’t get any of that on camera. If you have been curious about sailing in the Abacos and how they are recovering from Hurricane Dorian, tune in this week. First things first though – it’s time to learn how to sail our Leopard 40 properly. The dual sheet main has always given us fits, but we’re getting better at it!
We explore one of the Abacos most famous islands, Green Turtle Cay, and show you what the landscape looks like after 16 months of restoration efforts.
We want to help make the Bahamas get back on their feet, if you are a part of an organization that needs help (physical or clerical) please message us in the comments below. We are on the look out for how we can help while we are here!

Want more?! How about a little FAQ
❓Why Folsom Ocean Views?!
⚓️Because Folsom is Charles’ last name and it’s a play on the Johnny Cash Lyric “Folsom Prison Blues”.
❓Why a #Catamaran?
⚓️Jes gets really seasick while #sailing and the upstairs galley really helps when we #travel.
❓You both work full time jobs?
⚓️Yup. Charles has a traditional 9-5 position as the Director of Customer Success and Jes owns her own business doing art commissions for clients. #WorkingandSailing
❓Where to Next?
⚓️We are not sure. Part of the fun of this #DigitalNomad #lifesytle is that you can pick your #adventures
Please like, share, subscribe, etc!
Love,

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! More: FolsomOceanViews.com
