Welcome HOME - Cocos Keeling
After 5 Days at Sea… We Reach Paradise

After an unforgettable 5-day sail from Christmas Island aboard our Leopard 45 sailing catamaran, we finally drop anchor in the unbelievably pristine waters of Cocos Keeling in the middle of the Indian Ocean — and the adventure begins the moment we arrive. The Australian Border Force greets us right away, getting our sailing family cleared in and ready to explore one of the most remote, untouched corners of the world.

🚤 We visit the only two inhabited islands, Home Island and West Island, soaking in the culture, the landscapes, and the quiet charm of life out here.

🤿 And then… the snorkeling.
From vibrant coral gardens to the famous RIP drift snorkel, we dive into some of the most surreal underwater scenes we’ve ever experienced.

🌍 But the highlight? Meeting the incredible Mini Globe Racers — sailors pushing the limits of endurance and resilience as they circumnavigate the world in 19ft tiny boats. Their stories fueled our own dream of circumnavigation and reminded us why we love this wild boat life.

If your kind of travel vlog is filled with remote islands, ocean-powered adventure, and inspiration from the world’s toughest sailors… this is your episode. Let’s dive in.

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.
