We ALWAYS Learn New Tricks Sailing With Our Spinnaker
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

The wind has finally died down and we want to put some good sailing miles on our Oxley spinnaker today! We still aren’t the best at sailing with the spinnaker, so it was a perfect time to practice and learn from everything we did wrong 🙂

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
Love,

BOAT LIFE: 48 AMAZING Hours in Spanish Wells

Sailing UPWIND From Nassau to Eleuthera
We are finally free to go where ever we want on our catamaran, but the wind has other ideas. We want to sail from Nassau to Long Island, but the wind is coming directly from that direction, so it's time to make other plans. Our Leopard 40 doesn't sail upwind very well, but it's either...
