We NEVER Expected To Start Sailing Full Time Like This
We’ve been sailing with full time jobs for nearly 2 years, preparing for the day when we could cast off the corporate life lines and start just sailing full time instead. Well. That day has arrived, and it’s a little bit sooner than we were expecting.
Yesterday we got some news that we never really expected to hear – Charles’ company was restructuring and his position was being eliminated. It’s a risk you take when you work at a VC backed startup – but it’s still surprising when it happens, and that has thrown a wrench into everything. We were always planning on going sailing full time once Charles’ job was over – but we were expecting that to be at least 6 months from now. All of that means our cruising kitty is nowhere near what we expected it to be and we’re taking a new look at how YouTube can supplement that.
But at least for the next 3 months – we are in the Bahamas without having to worry about the logistics of staying employed! So we created a “Bahamas Bucket List” – 100 things we want to do in the next 100 days before heading back to the States. And what better way to get started than Thunderball Grotto and Pig Beach at Staniel Cay?

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,

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
