GTFO plan - Our 1984 Catalina 30' under sail There is no better feeling than flying with the wind on a sailboat! This is a short clip from our current "practice" boat. We currently own a 1984 Catalina 30’ monohull sailboat on the Chesapeake Bay. This is our practice boat and is not designed for the open ocean and too small for full-time, liveaboard life. Our future boat will be a Neel 51' trimaran! We want to share our GTFO plan of retiring early to explore the world. We plan to retire June 1, 2023, Dennis’s mandatory retirement date when he will have served 30 years in the Army. We plan to buy a Neel 51’ trimaran (http://www.neel-trimarans.com/modele_bateau/neel-51/). A trimaran is much safer than a catamaran, more comfortable than a monohull, faster to escape bad weather, and spacious to accommodate our Brady Bunch, and possibly you! We plan to name her Just a Kiss which describes our wonderful 2nd date back in 2015. Learn with us as we prepare to GTFO and sail the world! Kisses, Ann & Dennis

Sea turtles live in the ocean, but they don’t have gills, so how do they survive underwater for so long? Here are some surprising facts that every ocean lover should know: 🌊 1. They Breathe Air, Just Like Us Sea turtles have lungs, not gills, so they must surface to breathe. 🐢 2. Incredible Breath-Holding Abilities When resting, they can hold their breath for 4 to 7 hours. While swimming, they come up for air every few minutes. 💨 3. Super-Fast Breathers They only need 1–2 seconds at the surface before diving again! 🌙 4. Nighttime Adaptation While sleeping, their heart rate slows down dramatically—conserving oxygen and allowing them to stay underwater even longer. 🧭 Want to See Sea Turtles in the Wild?
