This is where it all comes together.

Our logbook is a collection of stories from both sides of our world – life on the water and the travels that have shaped us along the way. You’ll find posts from our current journey as we refit and prepare for the Great Loop, alongside moments from past adventures and trips we’ve planned and experienced through Sundowner Travel.

Inside, we share:

  • Boat life – past, present, and everything in between
  • Refit updates, liveaboard life, and lessons learned
  • Travel experiences from destinations we’ve explored over the years
  • Trips we’ve planned and taken – then and now

Some stories are happening in real time.
Others are the ones that brought us here in the first place.

Together, they tell the full picture – where we’ve been, where we are, and where we’re going next.

Because every journey builds on the last.
