The Journey

Plans can change.  But we have a rough first draft of the planned voyage...

There are things in this life that to everyone else make you crazy.  But to you, it means a fulfilled life.  Listen to your heart, embrace crazy!

All About The Boat

SV TEXAS is a 2001 Island Packet 420.  We named her after our beloved home state of Texas because we read that cruisers are referred to by their boat name (instead of their real names).   It also fit nicely with the fact that a nickname given to me (Marianne) by my college basketball teammates was "Texas."  S/V Texas is well equipped with solar, new sails and electronics and lots of refit work to make this 15 year old boat seem like new!
