about

I have been living on / owning boats since late 2011 and while it was born purely out of necessity, it turned into a happy accident. I have always been drawn to natural bodies of water having grown up in the Pacific North West. I was also on swim team and water polo in high school and recently have gotten into open water swimming just to scratch that itch. Nothing makes me feel more alive than being at sea or in / around the water.

While I am not on social media, it was fun at first and quickly felt like a job I didn’t want. I went from living that FOMO to finding exactly what I wanted and easing into that JOMO. I have nothing to sell anyone other than the idea that you too can reach your goals if you are willing to put in the work.

I went from knowing nothing about boats to restoring two, sailing down the coast solo with my two dogs (RIP Bear and Zita), and have sailed 12,500+ miles on five continents. These boats I paid for, I have taken zero courses on sailing or sailing related matters, I refuse to let men take over my projects as much as that would make my life easier it does me no good to not understand my own boat. I like learning and working on the boat, but I have reached a limit where I no longer want to break my back or the bank to make this happen.

Since I am solo I am slow, but I am in no rush to get anywhere.
