Getting over my fear of big ships (and naked sailors?) in the Kiel canal #13
I’m scared of getting close to the big ships. Which is exactly what we are about to do many times over the course of one day, as we enter the Kiel canal. I was quite excited to take the Kiel canal on our sailboat, even if that meant a full day of motori...

Sailing around the World: Day One. #10
It took three years. Three years from the day Ryan texted me with that crazy idea: why not quit our jobs, buy a boat and go sail the world, and see where the winds take us! We had no idea how to sail, knew nothing about boats, and had only been dating fo...

We’re moving on our sailboat. This is how it feels. #8
