Coming from a small town in Iowa people always ask me how I came to live on a boat in the Caribbean. So here’s the story in short -I left university to travel at 19 and spent years traveling by bicycle, motorcycle, car, train, motorhome until I went on my first sailboat in 2016 in Baja, Mexico. When the captain turned the motor off and lifted the sails I was absolutely enamored and knew that this was the way I wanted to travel. 6 months later I had bought my first boat – a little 27’ full-keeler in Puerto Rico where the previous owner agreed to give me a week of sailing lessons as part of the package. Soon after I sailed to Colombia and then onto Panama where I discovered the San Blas Islands almost by mistake. Since then I haven’t sailed anywhere else! The Islands, animal life, variety of anchorages, sailing community, and maybe most importantly – the wonderful people who live in San Blas – have kept me coming back year after year. I’m a real lover of adventure, simple things that work well, hearing stories of others, family & friends.
