Overview

Bruce and April Winship were young and newly married when they decided to go looking for a little adventure.  With little to no experience they hopped on a sailboat bound for Tahiti, and after two years of crewing on different sailboats throughout the South Pacific, Central and South America, they returned home with a burning passion to rediscover paradise on their own boat… this time as a family.

“Set Sail and Live Your Dreams” is the story of how Bruce and April overcame adversity, financial hurdles, and a steep learning curve to create the adventure of a lifetime for themselves and their two young daughters.  Their voyage of discovery exposes the hardships of almost losing their boat on a reef, the challenges of homeschooling, to the joyous moments spent anchored at uninhabited islands for months at a time.

We hope “Set Sail and Live Your Dreams” will inspire you to launch an adventure of your own, whether big or small, by land or sea… to drift off the beaten path, even for just a little while.
