The kids have adapted to living on a boat, we have learned so much about Meraki and we feel confident in her abilities to sail the open ocean. We start our trek back to Victoria and realize we only have a short time until we leave Canada and start our journey via the Pacific Ocean toward MEXICO. We have the absolute pleasure of having Kate’s bestie aboard, Hattie, she is an amazingly talented photographer and blesses us with BEAUTIFUL photos on our new home.

We are THREE Generations coming together to create the Cruising Meraki Project. Join Kevin, Shawna, Mick, Kate, Thomas and Bentley's sailing adventure of a lifetime. An adventure that leads them to meet wonderful people, experience new cultures and see the world in a whole new way. We hope you enjoy our project as much as we enjoy sharing it with you! What is the Cruising Meraki Project? The “Project” began back in 2018 when we first decided to start working towards a goal of sailing the world as 3 generations. The term “Project” is fitting for us as we are working together collaboratively to achieve a common goal. meraki [mer-ah-kee] (verb) This is a word that modern Greeks often use to describe doing something with soul, creativity, or love — when you put “something of yourself” into what you’re doing, whatever it may be. THREE Generations, TWO Boats, ONE Dream!
