We resigned from our jobs in science and academia to go cruising full-time on our Pacific Seacraft 37. We hope to rediscover those things that excite us about science and the ocean.

Our Plan
Our general plan is to migrate between the tropics (Bahamas) in winter and New England/Canadian Maritimes in summer. Along the way, we hope to do some research, teaching, public speaking, photography, writing, and blogging. A large part of our plan is to revisit places where we have conducted research in the past and re-connect with friends and colleagues who collaborated on the various research projects in each location. These people and places were key to shaping our personal understanding of marine science and to igniting our love of the ocean. Some of our public education and research will be in collaboration with an organization called Sailors for the Sea.
Our hope is that this blog pushes
us to get out there and explore the ocean and meet the people who work every
day to protect it. And by shining a
spotlight on these impressive people and places, maybe some readers will be
inspired to become ocean lovers themselves.
