They gave us a $1.1M Catamaran

They gave us a brand new Leopard 45, loaded to the gills with the best aftermarket upgrades, and they gave it to us free to use for a couple of months at least…and man o’man did we need it! After another boat purchase fell through in New Zealand, we headed back to our old stomping grounds, the Bahamas. More on that next week.

They gave us a $1.1M Catamaran Locations
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.
