About Us

How did we get here? We aren’t really sure…

Sometime between Christmas 2009 and New Years Day 2010 we decided to buy a sailboat. Never mind we didn’t know how to sail, you have to start somewhere right? We don’t even remember how it came up, neither of us has a remotely nautical background. At first the plan was to get a boat big enough for one or two week sailing trips, on the river or on the coast. Over the next few weeks that plan morphed into the PLAN.

The PLAN was to buy a boat, sell the house, cars, and so on, move onto the boat, quit our jobs, and spend a year cruising to points south. We’ve done some (actually a lot) of that but the PLAN is continually evolving and the adventure continues.

Please join us on our journey.

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.
