Mark and Katie, along with their adventurous 3-yr old golden retriever mutt, Wylie, plan to set sail in the Sea of Cortez on a 28' Pearson Triton this summer (2012) and continue sailing and cruising until 'the money runs out or the golden retriever mutinies...'!

Mark, a native Texan, and Katie, a native Montanan, met serendipitously in Missoula, Montana years ago and life has never been the same for either of them. Mark shared his love of fauna and flora, Katie shared her love for adventure and the sea. Together, they've found a shared dream of living life a little differently; a little closer to the land, water and each other. In 2012, they are planning a lifestyle change of moving aboard a 28' sailboat with their 3-yr old golden-retriever cross, Wylie, and sailing the remote shores of Mexico.
