ABOUT

Hey there, my name is Matt. This blog is all about life and the pursuit of sailing, fishing, boats, money and chasing the dream. Read along as myself and my girlfriend Laura take off from regular life as working stiffs and chase dreams.

I grew up sailing with my family at a early age. With my parents and brother I have done a variety of cruising, racing and fishing. I went to school at the University of New Orleans, and after graduation attempted a very short career in the maritime industry of the US Gulf Coast. However all along my wish was always to be around yachts and sailboats.

July of 2011 I quit my perfectly good job (well almost perfect). Laura and I packed what little we had into our 2 compact cars and drove from New Orleans (actually Covington) to FL to start our search for a boat to take us to new destinations.
