Channel Information

This channel is dedicated to documenting our experiences from purchasing, learning to sail Southern Cross sailing on the Pacific Ocean and eventually moving full time onto her to sail the world. We want to share our experiences with everyone who has dreamed of a life on the water. We have learned a lot of valuable information along the way with little guidance and know how intimidating of a process it can be. Our plan is to do a Pacific crossing from San Diego to the Southern Islands and after that who knows where we will end up. . Southern Cross is a 1983 O'Day 39 built in Fall River, MA and is a USCG Documented Vessel. She turns salt water into fresh water and produces her own electricity. Join our adventure! Please subscribe and follow us on Facebook for continuing updates Thanks again and enjoy.
