Leaving our home port to start our adventure of sailing the world.
From crossing Lake Michigan and gorgeous sunsets to a broken alternator and falling into the lake!

Special thanks to Bob Sima and Jacob Slade for their amazing music.

  • Y'all! This video was fantastic! Congrats on taking off! When people ask us what is the biggest thing in actually getting out there our answer is always just getting up the courage to truly do it, and you absolutely did it! Can't wait to see you on the water one day!

    Lake Michigan is NO JOKE. I live in a small town off the Lake Michigan and I'm friends with the Coast Guard Captain... I hear horror stories. Be safe.

    I'm glad this popped up in my feed, as a Michigander myself it's great to see you embarking on this adventure from a start on the lakes!

    Enjoyed your trip. We did a similar trip on a Tartan 27 in 1972 with another couple, going from our anchorage in Little Sturgeon, just north of Green Bay and spending the first night on Beaver island and then on to Mackinac Island. Many problems over the week that we had solve for the one week vacation, and we still tell stories about that trip today with our friends. No GPS, only radio direction finder and dead reconning with our compass. Increasing wind and waves on the trip over and lots of fog on the return trip. Brings back many memories.
  • I love Lake Michigan, so many places to explore. As a Lake Superior sailor…Lake Michigan has quite a bit more habitation and is significantly warmer than Superior. They are two closeby but quite different places

    Not gonna lie im a little bit jealous! Awesome video. Be safe out there and most importantly have fun!!!
  • Live in Michigan ❤ Ludington has the best beach, in my opinion. Saugatuck was voting the best beach in travel magazines. Love the mitten ❤❤❤

  • Always chase ground when having charging issues....if altenator and regulator is ruled out it is almost always ground connections
