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.

Alle 16.30 UTC del quinto giorno di regata, il 15 gennaio, il Team di Maserati Multi 70 prosegue verso Sud Ovest verso l'alta pressione a 17 nodi, con 12 nodi di vento da Est-Nord-Est. LoveWater ha fatto anch'esso rotta verso Sud Ovest e naviga all'inseguimento del trimarano italiano, che si trova 35 miglia più avanti. "Siamo ancora in vantaggio", spiega Giovanni Soldini da bordo, "ma la situazione è molto complessa e il passaggio dell'alta pressione si aprirà con il vento da dietro, per cui mentre noi stiamo rallentando LoveWater continua ad andare piuttosto veloce. È come se ci trovassimo davanti a un cancello, che si aprirà quando LoveWater ci avrà raggiunto: ne usciremo probabilmente appaiati". Alle 16 UTC, il trimarano italiano ha ancora 1692 miglia da percorrere prima di raggiungere il traguardo: il Team di Giovanni Soldini ha percorso più di metà del tragitto tra Cape Town e Rio de Janeiro, di circa 3600 miglia. #Cape2Rio2020 #MaseratiMulti70 Tracking: https://yb.tl/c2r2020 Sito web: https://maserati.soldini.it/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/giovannisoldini/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/giovanni_soldini/ Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/giovannisoldini/
