We have been very busy this “summer” getting the house ready to list. I put summer in quotes because it is late July and we have only had a handful of days in the 70s and a few in the 80s.

We have done very little sailing lately but selling our house is a huge step, both financially and psychologically, toward making our cruising dreams a reality. Hopefully it will sell quickly and we can move forward with our plans.

Today was actually very beautiful and we had enough wind to sail by so we had a fantastic day on the water. Right now we are anchored out and loving it.

I am writing this on my iPhone so I can’t add captions to photos but I have included a few pics from the summer, including my first trip to the top of the mast, a drawing of the companionway doors we are having made (an anniversary gift to ourselves), and the river shortly after sunset this evening. I keep forgetting to take pictures of our new (to us but actually quite old) drifter under sail. Maybe tomorrow.

Welcome!

We are Devon & Rowan and this site is about our life aboard our sailboat, how we got here, and where we hope to go in the future…

We started our boating life in the Portland Oregon area with an Ericson Independence 31 before moving to the SF Bay area. In 2013 we purchased and moved aboard Casita, our Hans Christian 33. In October 2024 we finally cast off the dock lines and headed south. We are currently cruising Mexico with plans to do a Pacific crossing.

We aren’t retired and we aren’t wealthy so we will cruise until we run low on funds or low on fun and then look at our options. Please join us for this next phase of our adventures together.
