All paths lead to 8 June 2012

Our whole life (outside of work/school and sleep, which takes up 90% of the time) is focussed on getting ready to head out on 8 June 2012 on the Bemuda Ocean Race. See our "to-do" page if you really want to know what that entails. You can track us almost real-time during the race on www.bermudaoceanrace.com on the "boat tracking" link.

John, Tessa, Hugo (12) and Maggie (9)

Having spent 10 years in DC, we moved onto the boat in June 2012, with the intent of sailing across the Atlantic to the Mediterranean for a year. As of June 2013, we've sailed from the U.S. (Annapolis, Maryland) to Bermuda, then to the Azores, to Lisbon and down the Atlantic coast of Portugal and Spain, through the Straits of Gibraltar, along the southern coast of Spain (with a quick trip to Morocco) to Ibiza, then Sicily, through the Corinth Canal and Greek islands, winter in Turkey, a few weeks in Israel, with a side trip to Egypt. After a month in the Adriatic in spring, we all sailed to the Azores, where mom, cat and kids left by airplane, leaving John and crew to bring the boat back home to the Chesapeake.
