There's no denying our Australian Shepherd dog Rose is pretty smart, with a big personality and plenty of attitude! As a result she often feels less like a boat dog, and more like having another human aboard. Thanks to our new crew member Lukasz, she's developed a slight coconut obsession, but is only happy if she gets to help find them, tear them apart and "share" a bit of what's inside. Now he's trying to take it to the next level, teaching the dog to "cheers" 😂 #doggo #doglife #boatdog
After meeting in college at Marquette University, our life has been building in momentum ever since. After raising 3 kids and having worked as electrical engineers for over 50 years collectively, we decided it was time for a change. We decided to sell Farraige, a Catalina 42, and purchase a new Nautitech 46 Open to begin our new chapter in our life cruising and traveling. We packed up our primary residence in San Jose, CA and sold our home. We gave away, sold and put in storage our possessions, packed a U-haul, and started our cross-country roadtrip across the United States to Virginia, where While One was on the hard. We were in our mid-50's when we made this leap. We have immense gratitude for having the opportunity, at such a young age, to retire. The pandemic changed our outlook, as I know it's changed many others as well. Giving up our awesome jobs at Apple was the most difficult thing we've done. I know I'll never get that back. Will our savings last? Will we be able to have a standard of living we've come to enjoy? Come join us on this journey. Not only will you get to see how we cruise, but you'll eventually get insight into what we had to do to get here, what it takes to keep going, and all of the challenges associated with this lifestyle...like Boat Insurance, Health Insurance, Domicile, connectivity while cruising, etc. In case you're wondering where the name While One came from. Both Sherine and I are Electrical Engineers. Sherine retired as a firmware engineer working for Apple for AirPod. I retired leading the Watch System Architecture team. Suffice it to say, we've written a lot of lines of code. We wanted a name that reflected our personalities and who we were. We wanted a name that was unique. After months of brainstorming and deliberation, we settled on While One. For those of you that know "C" or other similar computer languages, a "while one" loop is an infinite loop. While we hope we can do this forever, we know at some point we will not.

What do you think? 🐟 or 🦈? We don’t know. The fishing line unfortunately (or luckily? if it was a shark) broke before we got the fish on board 🥲 always tragic to loose a lure, because it means we harmed a fish “for no reason”. Hopefully the next days will be more successful 🎣 the Humboldt stream we sail along should be full of fish 🤞 🗺️ sailed: 220 nm 🌎 to destination: 1.980 nm 🌬️ avg. on day: 6 kts ⛵️ avg. on day: 4,1 kts Stay Salty, Greta and Michael on Zambezi ps: in our link in bio you can find the Ocean Crossing Bundle which includes everything you need to know for offshore sailing ⛵️ #offshoresailing #sailing #catamaran #sailinglife #sailingadventure #oceansailing
