About
Come and sail with us. We write about our experiences and share photos of our travels aboard our sailboat, Roam.
We have been sailing since we were kids. This is our 6th boat together, our first catamaran, and our second cruise. We have always wanted to sail the South Pacific. That’s where we are now.

A word about the use of AI in this blog. We don't use it. Well, sometimes we'll ask our favorite AI agent to proofread our writing. And, sometimes we'll ask it to fact-check some of our points. But everything written here was written by the human author on the byline. Same with the photography. We took those photos unless the photo credit says otherwise.
