Ben, Tambi, and Molly are a family of 3 that sail the Bahamas aboard their Endeavour 32 sailboat. It hasn't always been that way though... far from it. Before they became sailors, they were living the traditional American life. 9-5 jobs, 2 nice cars, a hefty mortgage - and 1 out of every 52 weeks... there was a vacation. Things changed though, when Ben had the realization that every day felt exactly like the previous one. It was just like that movie "Groundhog Day"... Wake up, go to work, come home, eat dinner, watch TV, go to sleep, repeat, repeat, repeat. Time to shake things up! The Clardy family always did enjoy their temporary getaways to the islands when they would go on cruises. They loved the tropical climate, the clear water, the white sand, the palm trees. They wanted more of THAT, but how? A sailboat, THAT’S how! It was that idea that spurred this family to break out of their rut and go on a grand adventure to tropical destinations over the horizon. Do they know anything about sailing? ...nope. Did they inherit a boat load of money? ...definitely not. Minor details, BECAUSE... So far they’ve sold everything, moved out of their house, purchased a 38 year old sailboat, toured 1000 miles of Intracoastal Waterway, and experienced an unforgettable 6 month sailing adventure through the islands of the Bahamas. So, what’s next for this intrepid trio? Whatever happens - the cameras will be rolling and their salty adventures will be recorded so that you can share the experience as their Story unfolds. Tune in and enjoy the adventure. :) Thanks for watching!!

Set Sail on Serenity: A Catamaran Adventure Through Croatia's Paradise Croatia, a jewel nestled in the Adriatic Sea, beckons with its turquoise waters, ancient cities, and endless charm. But what if you could experience it all at your own pace, the rhythm of the waves your only guide? Enter the magic of catamaran sailing – a luxurious and liberating way to explore Croatia's hidden coves and vibrant coastline. Why Catamaran? Catamarans, with their twin hulls, offer unparalleled stability and spacious decks. Imagine waking up to a sunrise over a calm bay, the gentle rocking of the boat your lullaby. Picture yourself lounging on the expansive nets, sun-kissed and carefree, as the crystal-clear water beckons for a swim. Catamarans provide ample space for relaxation, while also allowing you to navigate shallow bays inaccessible to larger yachts. Croatia's Alluring Islands Await Croatia boasts over 1,200 islands, each with its own unique personality. Your catamaran adventure can be completely customized, allowing you to island-hop at your leisure. Explore the bustling port town of Hvar, known for its nightlife and elegant harbor. Immerse yourself in history at Korčula, a medieval town said to be the birthplace of Marco Polo. Discover the serenity of Vis, a haven for nature lovers with hidden beaches and secluded coves. Beyond the Islands: Cultural Gems and Culinary Delights Croatia's mainland is equally captivating. Sail into Split, a vibrant city boasting a UNESCO-protected Diocletian's Palace at its heart. Dubrovnik, the "Pearl of the Adriatic," will mesmerize you with its ancient walls and charming squares. As you explore each port, indulge in Croatia's rich culinary scene. Savor fresh seafood, sip on local wines, and savor the flavors of the Mediterranean.
