S/V Sojourner
Mike & Deanna
and Waylon & June!
Life begins at the end of your comfort zone!
We’ve been quiet lately…but for good reason! Today we finished packing all of our remaining belongings in a U-Haul and set off to where our RV and things will be stored. We are committing to boat life! For the past year we have fallen in love with life on the water, and plan to continue exploring the Caribbean until setting sail across the Pacific in spring of 2028! That’s right…we’ve “decided” on our future sailing plans! It will be a journey to get there, and it’s emotional to walk away from the place we’ve called home for so long, but we are thrilled for the next chapter ahead.

We are officially back in Texas visiting family, friends, and making the moves to sell our home and officially commit to boat life! Our haul out with West End Boatyard in Tortola went off without a hitch (thanks to Sojourners amazing Captain Mike!!) and the team there is getting to work cleaning our home up for our next cruising year!

This morning we took the dogs on their (and our) last beach trip for 3 weeks! We have grown quite fond of spending our mornings running along sandy coastlines. We drop them off at boarding tomorrow morning just before Sojourner gets lifted out of the water!

The dogs have come to LOVE their dinghy beach launch!

Sojourner is getting hauled out for the first time since we have moved aboard! We are in desperate need of new bottom paint, getting some warranty work done, and our dinghy is getting dressed with a pair of chaps!
While Sojourner is getting her work done, we will be in Texas celebrating some exciting graduations, selling our beloved home (and committing to boat life!), and spending time with the ones we miss every day. It will be a wild and hectic three weeks, but we are ready for it!
For those wondering, the dogs will be boarding at a very cool boarding facility on Tortola in BVI! It is the first time we have had to board them, and we (Deanna mostly) are a bit nervous. We are taking them on their final beach run tomorrow morning!
