Hi there. We are recently married mid-lifers with long-term cruising goals. Currently landlocked and boatless in
Minnesota while we finish raising our blended
family.
Steffan has been sailing for 8 years, up to
ASA Advanced Coastal, but never owned anything bigger than a 15ft Mutineer. Our most recent trip was getting Kelly certified to
ASA Bareboat in the
BVI this spring.
Short term goal is acquiring something older in the mid 30ft range we can use for long weekends on
Lake Superior to hone our skills. Hopefully supplemented with a
charter here and there. With any luck, six or seven years from now we'll be looking for something bigger, nicer and more capable for adventures further afield once the
kids are grown.
Our jobs are mostly location independent and we both already
work out of a cramped home office, so we are practicing the close quarters already
. Cruising topics we are most interested in are
buying our first
boat, supporting ourselves, healthy eating, and keeping a cat onboard.
Steffan & Kelly
