The peeps

Hi, we are Tim and Kerri. We have been full time land-based nomads since 2011. We became nomads separately at different times and in different places. In 2015, thanks to close friends, we met on the road, fell in love, and have been traveling together since. We have been all over the United States, parts of Canada, up to Alaska, over to Hawaii, and as far south as the tip of Baja. After eight years we decided to expand our travels and took to the sea. With no experience or knowledge about sailing, or boats in general, we were starting from scratch. We knew only two things when this all began; the style of sailboat we wanted, and that we wanted to sail. More about us…

The boat

This is SV Meriwether, our 1978 Baba 35 (aka Flying Dutchman 35). She was designed by Bob Perry and the very first Baba 35 ever made, (hull #1), built by the Ta Shing company of Taiwan. She is a 35 foot long double-ender, cutter rigged, full keel, blue water capable boat. More about Meriwether…

Come take a tour of the interior
