My first time being published in a sailing magazine! Hopefully not the last!
First YouTube Video Uploaded – Season 1 Teaser
It only took five months… but here it is, our first video, a very short peek into the first part of Season 1. This hasn’t exactly been a joy to create, and I’m not entirely proud of it… and I’m my own worst critic! (Aren’t we all?) As I neared completion of the video, I…
Mary’s Story
A California native, I’ve spent most of my adult life landlocked and working in the IT industry in Colorado. While employed full-time and raising three sons, I managed to indulge my love of nature and thirst for challenge and outdoor adventure through trail running, backpacking, and mountain climbing. Pining for the ocean that I learned…
Mosquito wars and life in quarantine
October 18, 2020 The mosquitos here are quite determined! This little one inflicted quite a few itchy bites on us before I finally clapped it out between my palms.

We weren’t taking any chances on blowing our escape. We’ve taken the pandemic seriously all along, and in…

Our first time seeing our boat… on YouTube?!
Our boat is on YouTube! We’ve been following Sailing Millennial Falcon for some time and we just discovered they have been working on their boat on the hard at the same marina on Carriacou as our boat (named Sail Be Happy – but not for long), only steps away, and she appears in about a…
We did it… we took the leap
One year ago today I met the man who would become my sweetheart. When I joined him on a sail aboard his little Hunter 30 “Euphoria,” I had no expectations. I was just happy to go for a sail and make a new friend in my new home state. Meet “Sail Be Happy” (soon to…
