Festival!

April 4. With the first inch of rainfall the boat doesn’t shrink too much. The rain is usually preceded by some exciting wind and cloud action.

April 15 – April 23 We do a lot of waiting. Sometimes it is a relatively short wait, like waiting for the tide to change, or sometimes it is a longer wait, like waiting days (or maybe weeks) for the weather to turn. We never know what might happen to slow us down, so we …read more

About Us

Hey! We're Greg and Duwan. We have been nomads since 2011. We have traveled by sailboat, have house sat across the country, and are currently roaming around in our converted Ford cargo van, Ballena Blanca, exploring all the amazing things the world has to offer. This blog is a chronicle of our adventures and travels. If you enjoy our stories, leave us a comment on a post. If you want to know more about us, click here.
