▬▬ OUR STORY ▬▬
We are a multigenerational sailing channel with 2 boats and 1 collective dream of crossing oceans.
Meet Mick, Kate and their 2 boys Thomas and Bentley aboard Meraki a Stan Huntingford Explorer 45. An Aussie/Canadian family who dreamed of living life differently and took the leap into sailing life during COVID and have never looked back. Sailing from beautiful BC, Canada down to Mexico and then across the Pacific, through the South Pacific islands onwards to Australia and BEYOND!
You'll also get to know Kevin and Shawna (parents to Kate) aboard M2 a TransPac 49'. They've had had a lifelong dream to sail the world and are currently in the Caribbean with big plans to transit the Panama Canal very soon!
While the original goal was to be visiting anchorages together, life had different plans. With one boat being purchased in the Pacific NorthWest and the other acquired in the Caribbean we've been waiting out Hurricane season in separate Oceans.. but the reunion is going to be OH, SO, SWEET!
Explore the world through our eyes on our sailboat adventure of a lifetime! Let us take you with us on this journey to the next destination.
If you love adventure and want to see more you're in the right place.

    Wow, your videos are so beautiful, and your experiences are just remarkable. I'm (much) closer to your parents' ages than to yours, and I have to admit that it was the intergenerational hook that got me watching when you first started. I think it's inspirational how they were able to follow you across the Pacific, but on their own. I know they're long time boat people, but still - what an accomplishment for all of you. Anyway, I love this video like all of your videos. This one just gave me a moment of peace and tranquility in an otherwise stressful day. But as a fan, if I could put in a request for more of the older generation, I sure would appreciate it. Thanks for sharing your stories!

    What a captivating river! Love the blend of tropical trees, rocks, and lovely flora. I bet there's some amazing critters living in there too. I would have hit that coconut six times in a row, no problem ha ha.

    Such a nice video! What a wonderful education the boys (and you both) are getting. Isn't it amazing how the local people you meet on your journies are so friendly and willing to share about their culture. Love your content, been following you from the start. Always a highlight of my day when you share a new video. 🙏❤️
