The Sailing Family
Welcome aboard our family-friendly adventure! We are a family of five sailing around the world on our "dream boat," a performance cruising catamaran named "Archer!" Ten years after sailing halfway around the world for their honeymoon, this family of five decided to quit the corporate life and do it all again, this time with three kids. In the summer of 2018 we sold everything we owned in California, bought our dream boat on the east coast of the US, and departed for a four year circumnavigation of the earth. We are sharing family-friendly videos of our adventures to journal our experiences (both good and bad) so we can remember and cherish these formative years with our boys. Two years and 20,000nm in, we've had more than our share of difficulties but we couldn't be any happier. Thanks for sailing by!
