What's special about a boat?

If you've sailed with us on TSURU, you may know...not only was she 1 of 2 ever made, she's part of our love story. ❤️

We danced hundreds of miles in her salon & found this forever love while racing. She's sturdy but zesty, kinda like us!

TSURU was our wedding getaway car - 5 years ago today...felt so celebrity-ish. 💕

We sailed away under fireworks as our friends cheered, & started this crazy, beautiful life! ⛵️

Can we talk about Mark? 🤔
.. and all the "Marks" out there.

He's an amazing human who had the dream ➡️ bought the boat, then realized he didn't know how to sail it.

He gave us a call, has now had 3 private lessons on said boat & is already out solo sailing like a mega champion. 🎉🏆

When we're out doing day sails & see this Mark or other "Marks" sailing safely with confidence (although still much to learn), it makes our hearts so crazy full.

Look at him go! 😎

Just look at these new ASA 101 grads! Big congrats to Morgan, Boomie & Steve! 🎉🏆⛵️

Sharing Morgan's experience, in case it's helpful to anyone nervous for an upcoming class or thinking about one:

"I don’t know what I expected from this course.

The nerves. The anxiety. The excitement. Shaking hands from too much caffeine.

Studying like an idiot, only to feel like none of it was sticking. Kicking myself into gear on the second day, trying to retain everything I knew I should understand on a boat.

And through it all, Brian was patient with us. I don’t think anyone could ask for a better instructor for something that feels so intimidating at first.

He had a way of simplifying the material and quieting the noise until everything finally began to click...and less of something that had to be memorized.

I don’t know what the stars did, or what I did to end up here, but all I know is that I’m grateful."

⛵️ Fair winds, you three...keep on sailing! ⛵️
