We’re Geri and Shawn, a sailing couple living full time aboard our catamaran and slowly roaming the world by sea. After stepping away from conventional land-based life, we chose liveaboard sailing as a way to explore more deeply, live more simply, and learn as we go — one passage, refit, and unexpected challenge at a time.
Sailing Roam is where we document the real side of cruising life. Not just the sunsets and anchorages, but the planning, boat projects, system upgrades, budgeting decisions, and lessons learned along the way. From preparing our sailboat for long-term cruising to navigating open-water passages and adapting to life aboard, we share the full experience of living and traveling on a sailboat.
Through our sailing vlog episodes, in-depth blog posts, and practical guides, we aim to create a useful and honest resource for anyone curious about liveaboard sailing, catamaran cruising, or the realities of choosing a life less ordinary. Whether you’re dreaming of casting off someday or already living aboard, Sailing Roam is about the journey — the mistakes, the growth, and the freedom that comes with traveling under sail.
This site is both our logbook and our classroom, and we’re glad you’re here for the voyage.

After 18 months (and counting) of refit life, this episode is all about the projects that keep us moving forward while we wait on weather windows and delayed parts. Big milestones don’t always happen on schedule, but there’s always something that needs doing on a boat. In this
