Travel and Destinations transports you to the places we’ve explored. More than a sailing log, my writing aims to let you hear the voices, see the sights, smell the air, and feel as if you’re right there with us.

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.
