Buy a Boat. Fix it up. Sail South.
Follow our life aboard "Inspiration" as we sail through the Caribbean. Inspiration is a 1982 C&C 38 Landfall. We bought the boat in Deltaville, Virginia in 2011 as a fixer-upper. In 2013 we began our journey, sailing down the ICW to Florida, and then across the gulf to the Bahamas. Since then, we've continued south through the Turks and Caicos, Puerto Rico, VI's, Leewards and Windward Islands.
