The adventures of Lance & Amy aboard
their 38 foot sailboat
WHO ARE WE?
We are Lance & Amy - A husband and wife duo taking on one of our biggest adventures to date. While this blog is so our friends and family can follow along on our adventure, we hope that others stumble on it and it inspires them to plan their own adventure - big or small. Read a little more about us below, and if you see us, stop by and say hello!
THE CREW:
ADMIRAL AMY
Hello there, I'm Amy! I grew up in MN and it wasn't until my last year in college that I was introduced to sailing. Only using power boats until then, sailing was quite a different world...and I loved it! After we moved to Washington State, I took some American Sailing Association (ASA) courses at San Juan Sailing in Bellingham, WA to improve my skills and be a better co-captain. I'm definitely still learning, but in the meantime I'm loving life on the water and looking
forward to the adventures yet to come.
CAPTAIN LANCE
A pilot by trade, a seaman at heart. I grew up in Oregon but moved around a lot in my 20's & early 30's chasing my career across the country. When I was young, I thought sailing was stupid. That changed when my good friend and I bought an old 30' Bristol Sailboat on Lake Superior in 2010. I've been sailing for over a decade now, on my 4th boat already, and I still feel like I have so much to learn. That's what I love so much about sailing, and cruising in particular. It challenges you to keep learning and doing.
ZOE THE FORMER DECK SWAB
Zoe is our crazy, unique, smart, adventurous, energetic mutt. People always ask us what she is, we don't really know, but she's all character and energy. She loves people, but other dogs... not so much. She adjusted quite well to life at sea, but decided to hop off in OR to chase squirrels in Grandpa L's backyard until we return. Someone needs to keep them safe from those guys. HAHA.
