Just over a year ago, our dream to live on a boat and sail around the world became a reality when we moved aboard our new Seawind 1600 catamaran. It hasn't been without challenges, getting caught in storms, boat repairs, and learning to be self-sufficient. However we feel alive, and the most valuable resource we have in this world is time. We wanted to make the most of our time here, experience everything this beautiful world has to offer and make an impact. So we're sharing our journey with you. To inspire you to live your life with intention. Each day that passes is one less we have to live our dreams. So we have chosen to live a life of adventure. We don't know what your dreams are but whatever they are, we encourage you to pursue them, one small step at a time. An alternative lifestyle is within reach. Whether it's in a van, or on a boat, or in a short term rental around the world. The life you've dreamed of is waiting for you.

Are you ready to put all your sailing gear on, jump in a pool, hope your life vest inflates, and learn what it feels like to climb into a liferaft? That's just part of what SAIL Editor-in-Chief Wendy Mitman Clarke did last weekend at the US Sailing Safety at Sea seminar, where racers and cruisers learned from the experts and got hands-on in everything from stopping leaks and jury rigging a mast to the latest in communications and rescue tech.
