We’re Kent and Becca, a Gen X couple from landlocked Iowa. Join us as we embark on a mid-life adventure to become liveaboard sailors! ⛵️
We don’t live on a boat (yet), but we’re learning, planning, and dreaming toward that day. For now, we split our time between life in Iowa and sailing weekends on Lake Michigan, where we’re slowly but surely finding our sea legs.
This blog is our logbook — a place to capture what it means to pursue a bold new lifestyle in the middle of life. You’ll find:
- Stories from our sailing journey, as we grow from lake cruisers into full-fledged liveaboards
- Recipes and foodie finds, from cockpit cooking experiments to shoreside meals that bring us joy
- Musings on the journey, from tiny wins to “are we really doing this?” moments
- Travel tales with a twist, where we stumble into sailing serendipities or unforgettable meals on the road
We’re not experts — and we’re not in a rush. We’re regular people doing something a little different. And we’re here to share the adventure, honestly and hopefully.
Come along with us
Whether you’re a sailor-at-heart, a fellow foodie, or someone just wondering what else is possible in midlife — welcome. We’re glad you’re here!
