The last time we tried this, it was a a disaster ending with the navy/armada of the Dominican Republic dragging us back into DR! This time is different. While a full bash was expected as we take part in the last part of the thorny path, we are in a for a BIG SURPRISE!

We are Dev (pronounced Dave he/him) and Spandana (pronounced Spun-The-Nuh she/her), a software engineer and developmental behavioral pediatrician, who gave up everything. Less than 6 months after learning how to sail, we bought a sailboat and jumped into full time cruising in 2021. Our Turtle is a 40 foot 1993 Caliber who has had 7 owners before us and has even been salvaged once. Join our adventure as we travel the world, collecting memories and barnacles!
