I begin living aboard on anchor in 2011. As a L.I.F.E. University engineer even before the technology we have today I created a very self-sufficient vessel foundation with Solar and basic systems. Today that has gotten much more luxurious I have sailed the gulf coast of Florida the entire East Coast, west coast, Central America, Bahamas, Caribbean and most areas in between… I have approximately 20,000 solo miles under my belt before I met my wonderful husband in San Juan Puerto Rico and we have been sailing together for seven years now.
A few years ago we decided to rescue a decommissioned race boat and give her the retirement she deserved.
The boat is an incredibly different piece of machinery, and unlike anything else I have ever been on, Over the years, we have become well acquainted with her, and are enjoying a sleigh ride passages! life is about experiences and that is why we are doing what we are doing out here.

Boat descriptionTritium was originally a 60 foot ORMA built in 2002. In 2010 She became the prototype/test platform for the upcoming 72 foot Americas cup boat builds where she was extended to 72 feet and foils were added…. She has quite the racing pedigree behind her, but in 2019 with the chaos of the world through that time. She became cast aside and like many great “racehorse” of the past that wind up behind the barn they are just put down…. After 13 years full-time sailing experience and partnered with an equally capable marine engineer, we took on the challenge of rescuing her and converting her to a cruiser… 2 1/2 years and nearly 8000 miles later she unlike anything you’ll ever step foot on… she offers both the opportunity to do 40 kn under Sail while you can also make water on solar power, cook on induction cooking, and take a hot shower. And while she offers capabilities to travel at such high rates of speed, we are very much cruisers not sailors. We run a safe ship with conservative canvas and highly respected mother nature. Weather windows are choosen very strategically, and and we do not permit any type of scheduling or deadline to step aboard this vessel other than those dictated by mother nature. most of our passages are absolutely phenomenal sleigh rides in the high teens to low 20s knotts range We have necessary safety equipment on board and all crew Will be provided with a Offshore safety harness while on board which they will be required to wear on deck at all times Offshore.
