We’re Ready… But We Can’t Leave Yet | Pacific Crossing
For the first time in months, Big Lost is finally ready.
The projects are finished. The boat is provisioned. Everything we’ve been working toward is complete. But instead of leaving Panama and beginning our Pacific crossing, we find ourselves doing something we didn’t expect…
Waiting.
Waiting for our kids’ visas.
Waiting for the right weather window.
Waiting for the moment we finally point the bow west.
Sitting at anchor gave us time to reflect on how far this journey has already taken our family. What began as a dream has turned into thousands of miles across the Atlantic, unforgettable friendships, and a childhood shaped by life at sea.
Crossing the Panama Canal marked a major turning point for our journey. The ocean, the weather patterns, the languages, the destinations—and even the boats around us—have begun to change.
The Atlantic chapter is behind us.
Ahead lies the Pacific Ocean.

Maybe the Dream Was Never About Sailing
Maybe the dream was never about escaping real life. Maybe it was about having more say in how we lived it. The grocery runs, broken alternators, school days and everyday responsibilities didn't disappear when we moved onto a sailboat. We just chose a different place to build our life. A lif...
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...
We Didn’t Choose an Easier Life
We didn’t choose an easier life. We chose the life we wanted. Living aboard and sailing the world as a family isn’t always convenient — but the hard days, incredible places, friendships, and adventures are all part of it. #SailingBigLost #SailingFamily #BoatLife #FamilyAdventure #SailingLife
