LOST? Night Kayaking in St John… Until Captain couldn't find us! #stjohn #trawlerlife
🌙 We thought a peaceful night kayak in St John, US Virgin Islands would be a magical experience… and it was—until our captain (Ken) tried to find us with a spotlight and things got slightly ridiculous.
In this clip from our Unanchored Life adventure aboard our Kadey Krogen 55 trawler, Elsa and I head out into the dark for a serene paddle… while Ken attempts what can only be described as a full-scale search-and-rescue operation.

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.

With their dog Gypsy as first mate, Ken and Kirsten Kopp are exploring the world by sea, learning that freedom comes with saltwater, engine noise, and the occasional small miracle.
