family – Ohana Sailing Adventure

4 Years and ~80,000 Miles

Almost 80,000 miles traveled…

8100 nautical miles on Ohana (about 9400 statute or “road” miles)
18,000 miles by plane
25,000 miles by RV
27,000 miles by car (separate from the RV)

That’s equivalent to more than 3 times around the equator. So, even though life intervened and we put aside our initial dream of circumnavigating the world by boat, we have had an astounding four years.

6861 Nautical Miles, 292 Days, and 14 Countries

The Bermuda Triangle and the Lost City

So, we were traveling through the Bermuda Triangle one day, when we were unexpectedly pulled into the Lost City of Atlantis. Ohana was supposed to be heading to Florida, but head-on currents drained our fuel reserves and we ended up in Atlantis instead.

Dolphins, Salty Carbs, and Gilligan’s Island

That is probably the best description of our 3-day voyage from the British Virgin Islands to the Turks and Caicos…

Our first pod of dolphins during the trip – baby and all!

Goodbye to the BVIs

We’ve had a wonderful time here in the British Virgin Islands these past 3 weeks. We’ve island hopped some, but we’ve also found our favorite anchorage and hung out there a lot of that time. Read more…

Where in the World Have We Been?

Happy New Year!

We’ve been woefully silent on here for a couple of months, but in a nutshell we’ve…

…visited several islands since we left Grenada at the beginning of November – St. Vincent and the Grenadines, St. Lucia, Martinique, Guadeloupe and the Saintes, Antigua, St. Martin… Read more…
