The O'Kelly's

We’ve been together for 30 years and have had three monohulls and one catamaran (Clarity) over the past 20 years. We FINALLY found our next boat and are so excited to share it with you in 2023! If you want behind the scenes/real time updates we’d love to have you join our incredible community of like minded “doers” on Patreon. We literally couldn’t make these videos without the support of our community! If you’re considering the cruising life, we offer 1:1 consulting over Zoom so check out www.sailclarity.com/consulting if you’re interested. It’s a privilege to be able to share it with you all so THANK YOU to all of you who make it happen!

Nick is a meteorologist and pilot, so we may be talking a bit about that as it relates to sailing. Megan was in high tech recruiting and has been a life long seamstress – see her channel below. We have a couple other channels: O’Kelly Tech and our philosophical, meditative meanderings – MONKEYS ON A ROCK – see below.

Behind the scenes in Tonga
Behind the scenes look filming in the South Pacific. We travel by airliner, puddle-jumper, tuk-tuk, panga, and dingy to Vava'u, Tonga. It's worth it though, as we get a taste of crystal-clear blue waters, friendly natives, and comfortable trade winds.
