Since sailing away from Seattle in 1974, John Neal's 391,000 offshore miles include six Cape Horn roundings and expeditions to Antarctica, Africa, Australia and Spitsbergen. Since 1976 his focus has been helping over 10,000 want to be cruisers find and outfit their boats to fulfill their own cruising adventures.

Will & Sarah Curry hatched a plan to sail to the South Pacific on their very first date. They purchased a Beneteau First 405 in Mexico and after Will showed newbie Sarah the ropes, they sailed into the sunset - west, across the incredible South Pacific. That boat sold quickly in Australia, and they moved onto a Jeanneau SO 43 to explore the Pacific Northwest, California, and beloved Mexico over the course of seven years. Will & Sarah and their adaptable crew (3 year old twin boys) have recently said goodbye to hot sauce, and hello to tzatziki! Kaia II is their current boat, a Leopard 46 catamaran in Greece.
