Congrats to Dave & Penny! Their 61' Ocean Alexander, Southern Cross, crossed her wake on 11/23! "It’s surreal that we are home back in Bradenton- and that we actually completed this amazing journey. All of the planning books, charts, and headsets put away."

When we first started this adventure, lots of folks asked: “Are you sure you can do this? You’ve got no experience.” I just watched a couple episodes of “Alaskan Bush People...” If those idiots can survive in Alaska, I think we should probably be okay. 🤞🏻
