Somehow… This Became Normal | Pacific Crossing
Two weeks into our Pacific crossing and something unexpected started happening…
Life out here began to feel normal.
The watches, the meals, the routines, the exhaustion, the quiet moments in between — somewhere along the way the Pacific stopped feeling so unfamiliar.
In this episode we share what daily life actually feels like while crossing the Pacific Ocean as a family. From bread making and fishing to sleepless nights and sunrise watches, this became less about surviving the ocean… and more about settling into a completely different rhythm of life.
If you’ve ever wondered what long ocean passages really feel like beyond the storms and adventure, this is probably the most honest look we’ve shared yet.
⛵ Follow our family’s journey as we sail across the Pacific Ocean aboard our catamaran.

Some Problems Follow You Across Oceans
We inherited our alternator problems when we bought Big Lost in Florida—and somehow, they've traveled with us through the Caribbean, across the Panama Canal, over the Pacific, and all the way to French Polynesia. We've fixed things. Broken things. Learned things. Taken steps forward and a...
But What If You Try… and It Changes Your Entire Life?
But what if you try… and it changes your entire life? We chose to leave behind a more conventional life and sail the world together as a family. We didn't know exactly where that decision would take us—we just knew we wanted to find out. Sometimes the biggest risk isn't trying and failin...
