About us (original)
Welcome to Our Journey
We are sure it will be challenging, scary at times, frustrating and tiring. But we are also sure it will be exhilirating, eye-opening and memorable. We are ready to be tested and ready to be salty sailors!
We have been planning for a year and half: reading through blogs, books and cruising forums; listening to sailing podcasts; looking at countless boats for sale online; working hard and saving hard. But the most fun part of it all so far has been just talking with each other about this new world of which we will soon be a part.
We live in Colorado but will be starting our adventure somewhere on the east coast and heading down to the Caribbean.
We both love rock climbing and ice climbing and Sara loves to trail run. We’re hoping to find some rocks to climb and trails to run along the way.

We had an amazing sailing adventure! In eight short months we bought a sailboat, fixed her up, learned how to sail, met some most excellent people, sailed to and explored some amazing places, and sold our boat. The plan is to move back to Montrose – we’ll see if we can make it work with jobs. The adventure continues – on land!

PS We have DVDs you can borrow when it is blowing 35 knots this weekend and you need some diversion.
As you travel along, is it possible to also post the mile markers for the various locations? That way we can see exactly how many miles you are traveling per leg and in total
Janet, that’s a great idea! I will see if we can somehow add that to our trip map!
Hey kids, did you ever get a chance to check out the scuba stuff on board? Rumor has it that if you’re not certified, there are “crash” courses available at some of the larger ports of call (crash may have been a poor choice of words?). Considering a $25 burger, how much could it cost???
Hi Sara and Stephane, I’m finally here and just read your latest with plans to catch up. Just know my mind and heart have been with you; you two should do what those said things direct you to do with no regrets.
Peace, Keith
Keith,
Yeah! Glad to see you on eeeeeep! Yep, we did it! Now we’re ready for something new; ready for land again! See you in September for Imogene?!?!?!
Sara
So have you finally landed stateside? Did you sell the boat yet?
Kathleen,
Yep, back in the states now. Free Range is sold.
