We are Captain Gary and Mer-mate Brooke, just an average couple in our 30's who decided to quit the 8-5 office grind and experience a simpler life.
We bought a sailboat, quit our jobs and decided to see where our journey takes us. As sailing newbies, we are figuring it out as we go.
Nothing glamorous, just our story to share with friends, family and anyone else who wants to follow along.
Join us as we figure out this crazy, beautiful One Life.
