About Us:

We are two young racing sailors that decided to leave life on land and accomplish our goals of sailing around the world and learning about and experiencing different cultures. Originally from the Great Lakes, we left Newport Rhode Island in July of 2019 after refitting our boat DIY style. We then sailed to Maine, and from there down the East Coast of the USA, around Cape Hatteras, to the Bahamas, Back to Miami, and then to the Virgin Islands.

From there we headed south to Grenada to escape hurricane season, then back up to St. Maarten where we launched our first Atlantic Crossing to Horta, Azores. We made a quick trip back to the USA in July of ’21 to defend our Chicago – Mackinac Race overall title, then it was back to cruising the Canaries, where we launched for our second Transatlantic voyage, sailing to Brazil in South America and on to Uruguay.

Now we are rounding the tip of South America in the dangerous waters of the Le Maire Straights, where boats are known to be rolled and sunk in the huge waves and dangerous currents flowing up from Antarctica, the Southern Ocean, and around the infamous Cabo de Hornos!

Our goal is to sail around the world via Cape Horn, and that is where we are headed now. Capturing footage to share this epic adventure with you as we round the horn and venture into the canals and fjords of Patagonia, Chile.

About Our Boat:

We have classic sailing yacht, a J Boats J/46. Like the newer J/45, she is a performance cruiser that can get up and go but is also very comfortable offshore in bluewater. She is faster than most similar sized sailing catamarans and lots of fun to sail, you will surely spill your tea at sea though! She is made of fiberglass and sports a nice wood interior and her interior design is a little less like Ikea than a similar sized Beneteau or Lagoon. She sports a high tech sailing electronics package, the best navigation software, and is set up for off the grid living with a watermaker, lithium batteries, and solar panels and a wind generator.
