Who are we?

Shay and Yona met on San Juan Island in 2000. Our second date was on a sailboat that Shay shared with a friend. We almost ran into an island on that sail, and Yona was very close to abandoning ship, but at the last second we pulled thru and made it back to the marina, where we ran into the dock instead.

Despite this we continue together, learning to sail and love and live together on our boat Holoholo and our 21' trailer.
In August 2013 we finally got married! On a sailboat of course - a 80ft Schooner - the Spike Africa with family and friends.

Our dream of cruising the world has been a jagged path. Buying a boat, losing a boat, buying another boat, becoming full time Nomads. Now we spend half the year traveling the USA in our little trailer. 

If you'd like to follow my YOUTUBE adventures you can here.  

Yona is the techie, nerdy (but meditative) one who loves to write and dreams of having a Star Trek like navigation station on her sailboat. She fixes things, does most plumbing, electrical and mechanical (can you say Diesel engine installation?) and anything that requires taking something apart, also navigation, research, and her superpower is being able to diagnose broken lawn mowers. 

Shay jumped out of the rat race for an early retirement so she could focus on drinking Cerveza's in Mexico, collecting rocks and sailing hard over, water rising over the toe rail. She does most all projects to near perfection, loves tools and nature, and longs for a queen size sleeping berth. Her superpower is her Sagitarian ability to be cheerful in all situations.

We both love to travel, adventure and immerse ourselves in nature. This wouldn't work without our third companion. Earth. And all the beauty, diversity and wildness she shows us everyday. 

We are eternally grateful fo the opportunity have and share our adventures!
