It’s Book Launch Day—Remote Work Afloat is Live!
It’s book launch day! Remote Work Afloat is officially available on Kindle, with print and audio versions coming this summer. I wrote this book because it’s the resource I wish I had when we started working from a boat. If you're dreaming of taking your work onto the water, this guide will help you stay connected, productive, and free to enjoy the cruising life.

The Benefits of Kids Living on a Sailboat
Living on a sailboat and learning how to sail can be a transformative experience for children (and adults!). It offers a unique opportunity for developing independence, problem-solving skills, teamwork, and a love of nature.
What is the Great Loop?
America's Great Loop is a continuous waterway that encompasses the eastern portion of North America, including the Atlantic and Gulf Intracoastal Waterways, the Great Lakes, the Canadian Heritage Canals, and the inland rivers of America's heartland. The entire route is roughly 6,000 miles long. Depending on their pace and path, it can take boaters anywhere from 6 months to over a year to complete the Loop.
Downsizing for Our Sailing Adventure: Moving from House to Sailboat
Moving can be daunting, but when you're moving onto a sailboat and embarking on a sailing adventure around America's Great Loop, it becomes a whole new level of excitement and adventure. We're currently in the process of packing up our home in Michigan and downsizing our belongings to make the transition onto our sailboat in Deltaville, Virginia.

A new boat for a new adventure!
We purchased a 2005 Beneteau 423 in August. With a 3-cabin layout, we’ll be very comfortable taking our home wherever the water can take us.
