love to watch sail videos. When i was a kid i went sailing with my uncle ,he had a little sailing boat and we went sailing on a nearby lake.I have good memories about that,and i like to be busy with the sailing on the boat,not just sit and watch,but helping with it,it makes you bond with the boat.

Had a great time with Emory and Kim aboard their fantastic Jeanneau 53, SOMEDAY. Such a great story to tell!!

Looking forward to your many adventures over the coming years. You are very inspiring for the rest of us arm chair sailors !

Thanks Paul!! Kim and I continue to love our adventure!!! Jeanneau has really impacted our retirement in a great way.....we could not be happier!!

The circumnavigation was better than we could’ve imagined!

I did this for 3 years. I was so worried about how this would work out. The best 3 years of our life.

Great comment! So glad to know you were out there and it all worked out. On we go...

Nice video, good luck on the next four years.

Loved this video. Thanks for sharing your story. We are 5 years from retirement and liveabord life for sure. No home, no car, just a boat and a dingy. You story is so encouraging. Last summer, we chartered a 2014 Jenneau 379 in Corsica, France and it was awesome sailing. The boat handled beautifully in strong winds. We felt very safe and comfortable. Helming was so easy as the boat had a well balanced sail plan. Thank you for sharing. Ced and Kiki, Montreal, Qc.

Ced, we are still sailing around the world and are in New Zealand now. Continues to be better than anticipated and our Sailboat, Someday continues to enable our dream to come true!

Sail on until daybreak, the worlds oceans are yours for the asking (and hard work) Remember, today is the tomorrow you spoke about yesterday, sail while you are able, tomorrow never arrives. Enjoy your cruising tour of the islands , adventure awaits just over the horizon. Take that word from an old captain, a seafaring seadog and his mate, we sailed our 64' double planked Mahogany hull Ketch known in the 70s as a Taiwan Clipper throughout many a passage for a decade hauling passengers and light cargo throughout the islands, we did it while strong of muscle, stout of heart and limb, youth on our side and Blue water pumping through our veins. You are blessed, most folks wait until they are a bit to old to handle a fair sized vessel, we didn't, there are no "I should have's, "we wish we had" or 'there's still time when we retire', nope, tomorrow never arrives. Good on you two. The only reason we retired, became to weak of limb and stamina to handle a 64" ketch rig and maintenance required. Be well. Capt David Lee, SV Eleutheros (ret)

Appreciate the comment. It's always fun to see our customers getting the most out of their boats! Sail on!!

good boats but boy that shacking leach on the genoa would drive me crazy ,just move the jib traviler up a few notches & better shape , no noise and no wear & tear on the sail ,keep up the good work . your doing it well done .

Dear Ms and Mr Zimmer - we are considering a sisterboat but with shallow keel and i wonder if you have the deep keel and-or if you, or other readers have any experience with the shallow draft in open waters ?

@kimberlyzimmer3802

We have a shallow keel, 5’10” and are very happy with it. We’ve circumnavigated and gone all over the Bahamas and Keys in places only a shallow keel can enter!

Good video, do Kim & Emory have there own KZread Channel ? a link would be nice if they do, Cheers

We are still living aboard full time. We spent this summer in Nova Scotia, as far north as the fabulous Bras D’Or Lakes! We’ll winter in the Bahamas, and spend next summer in Newfoundland!
