This journey started more than a decade ago. For a long time it was invisible to most people. This plan to sail away simmered while our babies grew into little sailors. Steadily, we parented, worked, cared for others, and slowly refit our sailboat Nahanni V for a family adventure.
Finally, after years of preparation, we are almost ready. We are packing, sorting, varnishing, reassembling, attaching, studying, sewing and, yes, at times freaking out.
Life is good. We feel lucky.
The countdown to departure is on. Please stay tuned...
We will miss you immensely but are so excited for you. You have worked hard to get to this point. This is not farewell, just until we meet again!
