this sailboat, it’ll do!

Welcome to our adventure log! We’re Audrey and Garrett, a married couple with a passion for travel (Audrey) and sailing (Garrett).

In the spring of 2019, we quit our jobs and left San Francisco to travel and cruise with our sailboat full-time. We began cruising down the California Coast on our 35’ sailboat, Thisldu, in October, and ended our first cruising season in Aserradores, Nicaragua. We are now calling Charleston, South Carolina our home base and returning to move the boat slowly back to the East Coast on long weekends and holidays once the storm season passes.

Garrett and I met during our freshman year at Michigan State University and have been inseparable ever since. He’s from Michigan, I’m from Connecticut, and we’ve lived in Rhode Island, Arizona, and California, too.

In 2014 we had a life-changing discussion about the 5 things that were most important to us. From that discussion, our dream was born: one day we were going to travel and sail the world.

But neither of us knew how to sail. And we didn’t have any money.

We figured it all out, though, and that’s why we’re here, sharing our story with you, today. Take a look at our blog posts and Instagram to learn more!
