FROM NAVY BUZZ CUT TO PIRATE HAIR...CAPTAIN KEN'S HAIR DILEMMA #trawlerlife #travelvlog
In this short clip from our Unanchored Life adventures in the US Virgin Islands, Ken’s long-awaited post-military hair growth takes an unexpected turn… somewhere between founding father and full-blown pirate.
After nearly 30 years of Navy life and regulation haircuts, freedom has arrived — but so has the humidity, the wind, and a hairstyle that refuses to follow orders.
Filmed while exploring St John, this moment perfectly captures the reality of liveaboard life: a little chaos, a lot of laughter, and absolutely no barbers in sight.
⚓ From disciplined Navy pilot to… whatever this is
🌊 Caribbean humidity vs human dignity
🐾 Boat life with our dog Gypsy (who is quietly judging)
If you’ve ever wondered what happens when you stop cutting your hair at sea… this is your answer.

🌎 Exploring the Caribbean—one port, one mishap at a time

If you love trawler life, boat life with dogs, Caribbean cruising, and watching people willingly trade solid ground for mild chaos—you’re in exactly the right place.
Or maybe you’re just here because you can’t believe two otherwise sensible adults brought a large dog on a boat.
Also valid. Welcome aboard.

Ever wonder what happens when two fairly sensible people sell almost everything, buy a boat, and head off to sea with one deeply skeptical dog?
Meet Ken & Kirsten Kopp.
He’s a retired helicopter test pilot (equal parts engineer and MacGyver).
She’s a real estate broker who thought “working remotely” meant coffee shops—not waves.
Together with Gypsy, they’ve swapped runways for waterways, listings for latitude, and embraced full-time cruising, reinvention, and the occasional leak.
Unanchored Life is our unscripted, sometimes smooth, often ridiculous journey into trawler life, midlife rebooting, and discovering what it really means to live unanchored.
