Davis

Davis is our fourth and most spirited child. He was just 6 weeks old when we embarked on our first family sailing trip by purchasing a boat, and he was 11 years old when we set off on our exciting circumnavigation sailing journey around the world. While he looks forward to our upcoming ocean adventures, he will certainly miss his friends, as he is the social butterfly of the bunch.

Our Entire Crew

Since 2009, we have been a blended family, with Rob bringing Chase into the relationship and Shannon introducing Preston and Mckenna. In 2012, they welcomed Davis, creating a wonderful family unit of six. As of June 2023, the three oldest children have embarked on their own adventures, allowing us to focus on our ocean adventures together with Davis, exploring the joys of family sailing trips and dreaming of circumnavigation sailing in the future.
