Living Aboard In The Bay Area

Sonya David & Jack Patton
Jack and Sonya are a young couple living aboard their Passport 42 sailboat in Emeryville, California. They have lived aboard for more than 3 years now, as they prepare to sail the world. Immersing themselves completely in the marine industry and sailing world, they strive to be as self-sustainable as possible onboard by learning all the marine trades. Together they run their business, Spirit Marine Service, specializing in boat maintenance, captaining and deliveries, as well as general marine repairs/refits.

Audrey & Garrett
Audrey the traveler and Garrett the sailor are another two 20-something-year-olds, that are following their passions. They share their adventures with the world through their blog and youtube channel. During the seminar they will be discussing their most recent transition of moving out of their San Francisco apartment and onto a 35’ Rafiki, Thisldu, in Sausalito.
