The big one: sailing the whole way around
Not next week — but it's the long game under all the smaller adventures: buy the boat, learn her, and point the bow at the horizon for good. Here's the course.
- 01
A Cape Dory 36
A heavy, full-keel bluewater boat built to take a beating and bring a family home. The someday-boat we're working toward.
- 02
Shakedown to Florida
First real miles under sail. Learn the boat, learn ourselves, somewhere the water's still warm and forgiving.
- 03
Across to the Bahamas
The first ocean crossing — clear water, thin charts, and the first night watch where land is just a memory.
- 04
Then around the world
No deadline. No fixed route. A slow lap of the planet, one anchorage at a time, with the whole family aboard.

Power anywhere
Solar and a battery bank that keep the cameras rolling miles from an outlet.

The pack and tent that turn a pin on the map into a place to sleep.

What films the whole thing — rugged enough to get dropped, dunked, and dusty.

From the service to the open road
I gave the steadiest years of my life to the Navy. It taught me how to read a map, grind through the miserable hours, and trust myself when things go sideways. What it couldn't teach me was how to sit still afterward.
So I don't. I chase adventure wherever it calls — backroads and big country, trailheads and campfires, with the someday plan of sailing clear around the world. And I point a camera at all of it so you can ride shotgun.
This channel is the open invitation: the wins, the wrong turns, and the days it humbles me. If there's a bigger life rattling around in your chest too —come along.
