Sailing Blackbird
We are Kay and Gee, an adventurous couple that loves the ocean and traveling the world meeting new people. We finally had enough of the hamster wheel so we sold everything to sail around the world. The crazy thing is we did this without a ton of sailing experience but didn’t want to wait until retirement to figure it all out. We are excited to share our experiences and hope you will join us on our adventures!
We love mountain biking so much we intend to bring our bikes on board. Our hope is to ride trails wherever they exist along our travels. Plus they will make great transportation!
