We are Steve and Brandy from Orlando, Florida. We met in 2010 and have been sailing through amazing experiences together ever since. Steve’s earliest memory was being pushed off a dock by his brother into the nearly freezing waters of Southern Michigan. (His brother still defends his innocence) He was five years old. That was the day his father launched their new Bristol 22 sailboat into Lake Erie. Sailing and a dislike of cold water has been in his blood ever since. Brandy never sailed before meeting Steve, but she loves to learn and be helpful, so her sailing skills grew quickly to become the perfect first mate.
We currently cruise the coasts, lakes and rivers of Florida from our trailerable sailboat. Florida has amazing variety of cruising options and keeping our boat on the trailer allows us to access any of them in a matter of a few hours. Ever cruise your sailboat at 60MPH? We do it all the time!
Our son Christian and our dog Ellie also occasionally crew with us, but they are both very busy, Christian with whatever teenagers do and Ellie with lots of snoozing and chasing squirrels. They both love the boat when they can fit it in their schedules and we have had great family trips.
We are working on a plan to permanently cast off the lines and leave the horizon behind. Where to? Who knows. We love seeing new places and meeting new people, so the plans will form as we go. You can read all about our boat story here…

I enjoyed your podcast!!!
Andy, Thanks for listening and the feedback! We really appreciate hearing from the listeners.
Andy, Thanks for listening and reaching out!
TSR has moved to the top of my “must listen to” list. Wonderful podcast that is informative, has great interviews, a news update, and product reviews. Steve has a natural “radio” voice and personality. Keep up the great podcast.
Thanks so much for listening and having us at the top of your list!
Bela, Thanks for listening and the feedback! I definitely do not think I am natural but we are working to get better with each show.
Hey guys! Great podcast! I have my own that I have been developing over the last year called Eat.Laugh.Sail. I really like your interviews, mine are maybe a little too loose, but im starting to figure out a direction to take them to improve as I go and keep them in the vein of great converdation you would have on the water anyway. Thanks guys!
Thanks for listening. As we know, it takes some time to find your groove of things with the podcast. Good luck with yours and can’t wait to listen to it!
Congrats on the Wedding back on the 10th of December, 2016 what a great day to remember.
Enjoyed the last podcast looking forward more to come. Also looking forward to see some of the wedding pictures.
See you next year and many more to come……../).

I listened to your podcast about Luekemia, Gary Jobsen, reusable grocery bags, & the Radonic family. You spoke of the 0.07 cent charge for the store’s plastic bags in the UK. Not sure if you know that we have been doing that in Boulder, Co for years. Except we charge 0.10 per plastic bag.
Cheers, Peyton
Just recently discovered your show and have been binge listening to available episodes. I happen to be in the market and about to purchase a Macgregor 26 ! I really enjoy learning about the boat while listening to your experiences and stories! I sampled many sailing podcasts before finding your channel and was hooked from the beginning. Hoping for new episodes soon?!?
I have really enjoyed the podcasts. Hope you will post more. I think I have gotten to the end of them. About a year since the last one ? Looking to pick up a trailer sailor in the next few weeks. Our mobile kayak basecamp for adventures. Would love to see more of your adventures too.
Haven’t seen anything on YouTube lately, was wondering if you headed over the horizon? I would love to get a trailerable boat like yours but I’ll just settle to watch your videos.
I have just driven my trailer ⛵ sailboat from Texas to Florida. I was inspired by your podcast and wanted to say thanks.
Wish I could send a picture.
