🌊 THE OCEAN HAD OTHER PLANS! | Sailing Home to Florida After 36 countries and countless miles at sea, we’ve finally LEFT our final country — the Dominican Republic. Now it’s time for our last multi-day passage as we make our way home to Florida… or at least, that was the plan! With incredible winds behind us, our boat is flying, and suddenly we realize we’re going to arrive in St. Augustine nearly two days earlier than expected. Rather than rush into port, we make an unplanned detour to Ft. Pierce to reconnect with a great friend we met on the dock three years ago, just before we left on this incredible journey. And there’s an extra surprise waiting in Ft. Pierce — Davis gets to pick up his best friend, who joins the crew for the final leg home to St. Augustine! This week is filled with fast sailing, playful dolphins, unforgettable sunsets, and those special moments of family life at sea that have made this journey so much more than just a trip around the world. After all the miles, countries, challenges, and memories, we’re finally sailing HOME. ❤️⛵ 🌎 36 Countries. One Incredible Journey. And One Final Passage Home.

#sailingfamily #familyvlog #sailingaroundtheworld #familytravelvlog #boatlife #bucketlist #lifestyle #travel #sailboat This week, we say goodbye to Puerto Rico and make our way to the Dominican Republic for one final round of boat projects before the big journey home. ⛵️🌴 With our catamaran getting ready to sell as soon as we reach St. Augustine, Florida, there’s still plenty to get done! We dive into a full deep clean, compounding and waxing, stainless steel polishing, and even install a brand-new StackPack. After months of cruising, projects, and adventures, we’re getting the boat looking her absolute best—and preparing for what will be our very last passage home to St. Augustine. It’s the end of an incredible chapter, and the beginning of something new. ❤️ Thanks for coming along for the journey!

Old San Juan to Glowing Seas - Sailing Puerto Rico This week, we leave the USVI behind and set our sails for Culebrita — a stunning, isolated tropical paradise where we slow down and spend a few unforgettable days surrounded by nothing but turquoise water, beaches, and the feeling of being completely off the grid. But the adventure is only getting started. ⛵ From Culebrita, we sail to Culebra, where we experience one of the most incredible natural spectacles of the entire journey — bioluminescent waters so bright they seem to glow beneath our boat. After a few peaceful days exploring the tiny island of Palermo, we point the bow toward San Juan. Sailing past the massive historic fort and into the harbor feels like entering another world. And then comes the unexpected part… After months of traveling through remote islands and foreign countries, we suddenly start seeing places that feel strangely familiar — Home Depot, Olive Garden, Chick-fil-A… reminders of home just when crew morale needed it the most. We explore the historic fortifications, wander the colorful streets of Old San Juan, and soak up the last moments of Puerto Rico before pulling up the anchor once again. Our next passage will take us to the final country of our world tour. The journey is getting closer to the finish line… but there's still plenty of ocean — and adventure — ahead. Come sail with us. 🌊⛵ #Sailing #SailingAdventure #WorldTour #Culebrita #Culebra #Bioluminescence #PuertoRico #SanJuan #OldSanJuan #DominicanRepublic #SailboatLife #Cruising #travelvlog We are a suburban blended family that has raised our 3 older children and now want to travel the world.

#sailingfamily #familyvlog #sailingaroundtheworld #familytravelvlog #boatlife #bucketlist #lifestyle #travel #sailboat 🌴 WE OFFICIALLY COMPLETED OUR WORLD CIRCUMNAVIGATION! 🌎⛵ This week, the adventure takes us to the breathtaking US Virgin Islands, starting on the stunning island of St. John. We explore Trunk Bay, one of the world’s top 10 beaches, snorkel in impossibly clear Caribbean waters, and settle into the kind of easygoing boat life that everyone dreams about—lazy days on the water and dinners with our feet in the sand. 🏝️🤿 Then things get a little more unusual… 😳 As we make our way toward Christmas Cove, we pass the infamous Epstein Island before dropping anchor for something you don’t see every day: pizza from the world’s only floating pizza kitchen! 🍕🚤 But the biggest moment of the journey is still ahead. As Rob and I enter St. Thomas Harbor, we cross our own wake and officially complete our WORLD CIRCUMNAVIGATION. 🌎⛵ After 908 days, 30,248nm, countless adventures, and more than a few challenges… WE DID IT! And because one major milestone apparently isn’t enough, Shannon celebrates her 50th birthday as we prepare to leave the USVI behind and set our sights on our next destination: Puerto Rico! 🎂🎉🇵🇷 Come along for an unforgettable week of Caribbean cruising, bucket-list beaches, floating pizza, milestone moments, and the celebration of a lifetime. The world circumnavigation is COMPLETE… but the adventure is far from over! 🌎⛵❤️ #Sailing #WorldCircumnavigation #USVI #StJohn #StThomas #TrunkBay #CaribbeanSailing #SailingLife #Liveaboard #BoatLife #Cruising #PuertoRico #SailingAdventure #50thBirthday We are a suburban blended family that has raised our 3 older children and now want to travel the world.

This week, we say goodbye to the stunning island of St. Martin and set our sights on the British Virgin Islands—a place that holds a very special piece of our story.⛵ Less than three years ago, this is where our adventure began. Now, after an incredible circumnavigation, we’re back—and this time, we get to experience the BVI in a whole new way. From exploring the legendary Baths, to incredible food and unforgettable days at Bitter End Yacht Club and Soggy Dollar, we soak up everything these islands have to offer. We snorkel the Indians, reconnect with old friends, meet amazing new people, and enjoy what may be the most relaxing 10 days of our entire circumnavigation. But there’s an even more special moment waiting for Davis… a visit to the Moorings base where our boat’s story began. And as if that wasn’t enough, we unexpectedly run into the captain who had to sign us off before we could get insurance and finally sail our brand-new catamaran back to Florida! Sometimes it’s the places, sometimes it’s the adventures—but more than anything, it’s the people who make this journey so unforgettable. ❤️ Come along as we return to where it all started and discover why the British Virgin Islands might just be one of the most meaningful stops of our entire journey. 🌴 The adventure continues… We are a suburban blended family that has raised our 3 older children and now want to travel the world.

Set sail with us as we leave the lush island of Martinique behind and continue our Caribbean adventure! 🌴⛵ After a quick overnight stop in Dominica, we arrive in the breathtaking archipelago of Îles des Saintes, Guadeloupe—one of the most picturesque destinations in the French Caribbean. From there, we hit the road to explore Guadeloupe, driving from the colorful fishing village of Deshaies to the white-sand beaches of Sainte-Anne. While it's only 40 miles, the winding mountain roads and rugged terrain make for an unforgettable 1 hour 40 minute journey through some of the island's most stunning scenery. Along the way, we stop at Crayfish Waterfall, one of the most popular waterfalls on the island—and easily one of the most crowded waterfalls we've ever visited! To top it all off, Rob and I tackle our third volcano hike together, battling 40-knot winds, pouring rain, and challenging conditions before reaching the summit. It wasn't easy, but the adventure was worth every step! If you love sailing, island hopping, hiking, and discovering the hidden gems of the Caribbean, this episode is for you! 👍 Don't forget to like, subscribe, and come along as we continue our journey through the Caribbean.#sailingfamily #familyvlog #sailingaroundtheworld #familytravelvlog #boatlife #bucketlist #lifestyle #travel #sailboat We are a suburban blended family that has raised our 3 older children and now want to travel the world.

#sailingfamily #familyvlog #sailingaroundtheworld #familytravelvlog #boatlife #bucketlist #lifestyle #travel #sailboat This week we leave the stunning shores of St. Lucia for a fast, sporty sail north to Martinique, where we're greeted by one of the most crowded anchorages we've encountered in all of our travels. After checking into the island in the charming town of Sainte-Anne, we continue to the historic city of Saint-Pierre—once known as the "Paris of the Caribbean." But beneath its beauty lies one of the Caribbean's most devastating stories. In 1902, Mount Pelée erupted without warning, destroying the city in minutes and forever changing its history. We explore the ruins, visit the prison that held the eruption's famous lone survivor, walk through the remains of the grand theater and cathedral, and uncover the incredible stories that still echo through the streets today. To finish the adventure, we hike the very volcano that reshaped Martinique over a century ago. Join us as we combine sailing, history, and adventure while exploring one of the Caribbean's most fascinating islands. 🌴 If you enjoy sailing, world travel, hidden history, and life aboard a cruising catamaran, be sure to subscribe and come along for the journey!

#sailingfamily #familyvlog #sailingaroundtheworld #familytravelvlog #boatlife #bucketlist #lifestyle #travel #sailboat What does it really feel like to trade the wild, remote oceans for the laid-back Caribbean? This week, we sail overnight from Barbados to Bequia, but our arrival doesn't go quite as planned. After a frustrating check-in process, we're finally free to experience everything this beautiful island has to offer. From snorkeling and cleaning weeks of ocean growth from the bottom of the boat to hiking up to the historic fort with incredible views, Bequia quickly reminds us why the Caribbean is such a popular cruising destination. But after crossing the vast Pacific and Indian Oceans, the Caribbean feels... different. Gone are the endless empty anchorages and weeks at sea. Instead, we're back among charter boats, crowded anchorages, and a whole new style of cruising. Is the Caribbean really the "easy life" for sailors? Join us as we settle into this next chapter of our circumnavigation and discover what makes cruising these islands so unique. ⛵ Thanks for coming along for the journey!

#sailingfamily #familyvlog #sailingaroundtheworld #familytravelvlog #boatlife #bucketlist #lifestyle #travel #sailboat This week, we say goodbye to French Guiana and the South American coastline as we begin our passage north toward the crystal-clear waters of the Caribbean. After waiting nearly a week for a suitable weather window, we finally set sail—only to be greeted by rough seas and uncomfortable conditions during the first days offshore. As if the weather wasn't challenging enough, an unexpected encounter with a vessel conducting seafloor mapping operations forces us into a series of frustrating maneuvers. The delays add nearly an entire extra day to our passage, including hours of motoring and sailing in the wrong direction. After battling the elements, dodging obstacles, and enduring the frustrations of life at sea, we finally arrive at our destination: Barbados. Join us for another real-world sailing passage filled with challenges, lessons learned, and the incredible reward of making landfall in paradise. We are a suburban blended family that has raised our 3 older children and now want to travel the world.

French Guiana turned out to be one of the most challenging and surprising stops of our world circumnavigation. What should have been a simple arrival quickly became an anchoring nightmare. Strong currents, muddy bottoms, and difficult conditions forced us to anchor multiple times before finally finding a spot that would hold. It's easy to understand why many cruisers skip French Guiana altogether. But despite the challenges, this unique overseas territory of France has plenty to offer. During our visit, we explored the incredible Guiana Space Center (Centre Spatial Guyanais), Europe's gateway to space and home to some of the world's most important rocket launches. In this episode: ⛵ Our difficult arrival and repeated anchoring attempts 🌊 The challenges of cruising in French Guiana 🇬🇫 Why so few sailors visit this fascinating destination 🚀 A tour of the famous Guiana Space Center 📍 Our impressions of one of the least-visited cruising destinations in the region Have you ever sailed to French Guiana or considered adding it to your cruising route?

We set sail from Recife, Brazil expecting a straightforward 1,200 nautical mile passage… but the ocean had other plans. What should have been an “easy” leg quickly turned into our most disastrous passage yet. From equipment failures to relentless storms, it felt like everything that could go wrong did. Rob battles through a painful kidney stone while Shannon is knocked out by a debilitating migraine — all while we face four straight days of intense, punishing weather. This journey pushed us to our limits in ways we never expected. 🌊 Raw. Real. Unfiltered life at sea. ⚓ When the adventure turns into survival.

After an unforgettable 9-day passage across the wild Southern Atlantic, we finally arrive at one of the most remote and captivating destinations on Earth—St. Helena. 🌍✨ This Island Should Be on Everyone’s Bucket List… Here’s Why This tiny island is a true hidden gem, packed with history, adventure, and breathtaking landscapes you won’t find anywhere else. From climbing the iconic Jacob’s Ladder (all 699 steps!) to meeting Jonathan—the world’s oldest living land animal 🐢—every moment here feels surreal. Step back in time as we explore Napoleon’s final home and visit his original tomb, then take in jaw-dropping views on a scenic hike out to Blue Point. Rugged cliffs, endless ocean horizons, and a sense of total isolation make this place unlike anywhere we’ve ever been. If St. Helena isn’t on your bucket list yet… it absolutely should be. 🎥 Join us as we uncover the magic of this remote Atlantic paradise. #StHelena #HiddenGem #SailingAdventure #RemoteIslands #TravelBucketList#sailingfamily #familyvlog #sailingaroundtheworld #familytravelvlog #boatlife #bucketlist #lifestyle #travel #sailboat We are a suburban blended family that has raised our 3 older children and now want to travel the world.
