Captain’s Log
From the Great Lakes to Yachting World
Our journey aboard Fika was recently featured in Yachting World — and it’s wild to see the Great Loop on the global cruising stage.
From Michigan Winters to Soundings Magazine
We started on a Catalina 22 with no experience. This month, our story appeared in Soundings Magazine.

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.
PODCAST: Navigating the #1 Boating Adventure
Join Alison on The Boater’s Lounge podcast as she shares the story of our family’s unforgettable Great Loop journey! From navigating the Erie Canal to tackling seasickness in the Gulf of Mexico, she’ll dive into the highs, lows, and lessons learned along the way. Tune in for tips, inspiration, and the story behind Loop Life Academy—a resource hub for families dreaming of this iconic boating adventure.
Fika Launch Shirts
We’ve put together a one-time print for shirts to celebrate our launch date. We’ll officially start our Great Loop Adventure on May 5, 2023, from Norfolk.
America’s Great Loop
America’s Great Loop is a waterway route along the eastern United States. The course covers about 6,000 miles. This adventure will have us visiting about 15 states and 2 Canadian provinces.
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.
