Wayfinders Now
We're Esther and Michael, an American couple and full-time liveaboard cruisers (and still working as we go). We have backgrounds in the arts and appreciate a good bowl of pho, bourbon, comedians (like Tig Notaro, Eddie Izzard, Maria Bamford...), and corny puns.
In 2017, we sold our loft in Atlanta, getting rid of 99% of our books and gear, and moved aboard a 1994 Island Packet 35 named Hope that needed some overdue love (and boat work!) after sitting on the hard for over three years. 😅
We're learning how to become better sailors and recently started cruising on the Florida Intracoastal Waterway (ICW).
We’re especially interested in living small to gain abundance—cultivating sustainable living habits and having more time for nature and art! And we're learning about ways to 'live small' by reducing our waste footprint on and off the boat!
Thanks for supporting our story!
Cheers,
Esther & Michael & Bowie (🐱)
