Category: Imagining Life Afloat

Imagining Life Afloat describes my early thoughts about what it would be like to live aboard. The decision to sail around the world happened in an instant, but I spent much longer thinking through the details.

Welcome to Becoming A Sailor. I've written more than 250 posts about our travels on our St Francis 50 catamaran. We have been sailing since 2015, and our four kids have grown up on our sailboat. This is not a sailing log. Instead, it's an immersive record of a life afloat. I write to recreate the moment, whether we're standing on a volcano or cleaning our boat bottom.
