An adventurous couple from Australia who bought a sailboat on the other side of the world. With no clue on how to sail, we left our desk jobs, sold everything we had and bet everything on a sailboat called Zephyr. With your support, every week we will share our adventures, hilarious moments and amazing sights from the places we visit. Along the way, we hope to inspire awareness in marine conservation through the wonderful people we meet and engage in a more sustainable way of living.
