This site is the virtual home of our journeys afloat. Until the
summer of 2013, we traveled on sailboats. For the 2014 season and
onward, we're traveling in the US on a powerboat. We've
finished the
maiden season on our Grand Banks Heritage Classic 47, which took
place entirely on Lake Michigan.
If you have
visited this site before, you'll know that we spent the summer seasons
2000-2005 on a Hallberg-Rassy 46 sailboat named Swept Away and 2007-2013
cruising on a Hallberg-Rassy 54 named Second Wind. When it came time
to come home to the US, we decided that it was time to move a little
faster.
It's a mental more than a physical transition to go from sail to
power, some of which has been documented in our
2014 Letters to
Home. In the end, adventure and newness is replaced to a large
degree by comfort. It's less of an exploration and more of a vacay.
Actually, this photo of a vessel just like ours came from the Grand Banks web site, as did the images in the gallery carousel above (thanks, Grand Banks!).
We've archived the travels of Second Wind, in case you want to go back in time.
You can also see the
travels of Swept Away,
our Hallberg-Rassy 46.
