Welcome aboard our family-friendly adventure! We are a family of five sailing around the world on our "dream boat," a performance cruising catamaran named "Archer!" Ten years after sailing halfway around the world for their honeymoon, this family of five decided to quit the corporate life and do it all again, this time with three kids. In the summer of 2018 we sold everything we owned in California, bought our dream boat on the east coast of the US, and departed for a four year circumnavigation of the earth. We are sharing family-friendly videos of our adventures to journal our experiences (both good and bad) so we can remember and cherish these formative years with our boys. Two years and 20,000nm in, we've had more than our share of difficulties but we couldn't be any happier. Thanks for sailing by!

We explore one of sailing’s most sacred stops and leave our mark!

We visit Lady Musgrave, a coral atoll at the beginning of the Great Barrier Reef and witness a rare sight: a complete glass-off in the middle of the ocean. We also discuss the sailing community. On the water we are “cruisers” and we face the same challenges and rewards as the cruisers around us....

You know it's good cruising when the next anchorage is better than the last, and it just keeps happening and happening. You find your favorite anchorage in all of Australia, and then the next one tops it. And the one after that is even better that the new one. Yep, life is good in Queensland as we sail...

Finally we have guests! After a solid year of not seeing any friends or family, we finally have some good friends visit from Melbourne. They’ve had a longer lock down than the rest of Australia, so they were just as relieved to get out and meet us! We depart Mooloolaba for Moreton Island where we...

When you take your family sailing around the world, you dream of anchoring in a tropical paradise. The sun is always out. The water clarity is 50 meters. The temperature is not too hot where you're sweating, but not too cold that you need a sweatshirt at night. Sure, that dream can be real, but true...
