We got back from our Channel Islands mini-cruise about 10 days ago and all I can think about is going again. It wasn’t all roses and sunshine but we had a really great time. In fact, we had such a great time it has energized us to get our butts in gear and go cruising for real. Of course the main thing holding us back is money, but we are determined to make it happen.

I still have significant student loans but they should qualify for forgiveness next summer so we had been planning to participate in the 2023 Baja Haha and then come return to the SF area via Hawaii, Alaska, and the Pacific NW. However, since our trip down the coast we have started to dream bigger and we are now at the early stages of planning a 2-3 year circumnavigation (starting the fall of 2023, maybe with the Haha, maybe not). If we can’t make that happen we can still do the loop to Hawaii and the PNW. Either way we are looking forward to new adventures!

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.
