Wind over Water
Welcome to Wind over Water. We are Chris and Debbie, a young at heart middle aged couple who sell it all and become full time sailors. Our videos document our adventures preparing our boat and ourselves for the trip of a lifetime south through America and to the Bahamas, through the purchase and outfitting of our new boat and more adventures in our Canadian Great Lakes. Along the way we have interviewed sailing royalty in our Virtual Happy Hour series and we uncover some forgotten sailing relics in our Back Yard Boat Find series. For all of you who have dreamed of cutting the lines and sailing off into the sunset, this channel is for you. Follow us on our midlife adventure as we sail away, by Wind, over Water.
