Brazil to French Guiana | Storms, Sickness & Devastating Loss
We set sail from Recife, Brazil expecting a straightforward 1,200 nautical mile passage… but the ocean had other plans.
What should have been an “easy” leg quickly turned into our most disastrous passage yet. From equipment failures to relentless storms, it felt like everything that could go wrong did. Rob battles through a painful kidney stone while Shannon is knocked out by a debilitating migraine — all while we face four straight days of intense, punishing weather.
This journey pushed us to our limits in ways we never expected.
🌊 Raw. Real. Unfiltered life at sea.
⚓ When the adventure turns into survival.
Join us as we share one of the toughest passages we've ever endured.

We are a suburban blended family that has raised our 3 older children and now want to travel the world. After planning and saving for the past 6 years, we are now embracing our dream of sailing around the world on our Leopard 45 sailing catamaran. Follow our journey as we Circumnavigate the Globe in 3-4 years on a budget of $4,800/month (food, communication, fuel, insurance, transportation, mooring/marina & fun). We left the USA in October 2023 and plan to visit 26 countries on 5 different continents all while worldschooling a budding teen in our off grid tiny house.
