Thank you for taking the time to visit our website....
Have you ever stood on the top of a hill and felt the warmth of the sun on your face and the coolness of the wind in your hair? You know.... that sensation of 'being one with nature'.
As a child we experienced these kinds of intense feelings.... but then adult life's responsibilities caught up with us, and these sensations were thrown by the wayside by the overwhelming waves of reality that push and pull us until we hardly know what direction we're going in.
This site is NOT about hooking you on a dream of independence and expressing your natural self.... if this is not already something on your mind..... But if it IS, we would like to show you how you can make it happen. If that excites you, you are in the right place.
We have attempted to bring together many relevant resources, from countless magazines,websites, blogs, podcasts, videos, personal experiences, anecdotes, and narratives.... A lighthouse in an overwhelming sea of information.
So just to be clear, this site is about letting you know what catamarans are, what they offer, about the lifestyle they can support, and, finally, about how to live aboard a cruising catamaran and sustain that cruising lifestyle.
To paraphrase an old friend....
Are you tired of settling for tomatoes when you were hoping for papaya and mango?
This website offers what might initially seem unlikely (yet actually very possible) "Lifestyle" possibilities that are made possible with sailing catamarans. It could also offer a completely different approach to, a new platform for, living.... such as in living full-time aboard a cruising catamaran.
We intend to offer you sufficient information and resources for you to see, feel, understand if there is a real "fit" for you, and we will offer you our findings on a wide variety of subjects, technologies, and, yes, lifestyles.
This site has four primary objectives:
1. Introduce catamarans: What they are, their benefits, features, and advantages over monohulls.
2. Present a range of thrills, joys, and satisfactions of various catamaran lifestyles.
3. Offer information, educational resources, real-world catamaran experiences, and more.
4. Create a forum for the catamaran living-oriented community.
(Including people who are already out there, "living the life".... We VERY much want them to join the conversation, too!)
We can take of items 1-3 by ourselves, but for the fourth item, we ask for your feedback and ideas. Please share your experiences. Without that feedback, we are, literally, dead in the water!
In addition to a great 'Catamaran Community" on Facebook, we have the comments section of our blog posts.
Fair winds and smooth seas!
When we recommend products and services, we have done the necessary due diligence on the respective items. However, since our site is personal - and sometimes very passionate - our recommendations, preferences, and choices are necessarily biased. We don't pretend to be objective, but we DO go out of our way to find, qualify, and list what we have come to believe is the best of what is available.
