Dave and Diane
Meet
Hello, we're just your average couple who traded our nine-to-fives for life on the open seas.
Together, we chronicle our globe-trotting adventures on this blog. From the the rugged coasts of Newfoundland to the turquoise waters of the Caribbean, we share our photos, stories, and practical tips for fellow dreamers looking to embark on their own maritime journey.
Join us as we navigate the highs and lows of life at sea, discovering new cultures, cuisines, and the true meaning of freedom along the way as we
Sail Around the World!
We haven't been everywhere,
but it's on our list!
Where
in the world are Dave & Diane?

Thanks to an article in Cruising World by John Kretchmer, we stumbled upon the Corbin 39. And if the Legend, John Kretchmer, likes it then so do we!
ABOUT
Lagerhead
We found our perfect 1988 Center Cockpit Corbin in Nova Scotia. The boat has already been around the world once from 2006-2010. In 2018, it went to Greenland and Baffin Bay in an attempt at the Northwest Passage (it iced in that year, watch this cool movie about one of the few boats to succeed).
Check out our boat years before we bought it! Yep, we watched this and decided to fly to Nova Scotia and check her out. But she had a new engine put in between this video and us buying her.
Now before you tell us that boat is beat and all that travel isn't a good thing. Don't panic, she has all new rigging, a new mast, new engine, new sails, and Dave fixed her soft, delaminated core! And no, we didn't pay for all that. The new rigging, new mast, and new engine were part of her $39,000 price tag.
Although, she's technically called a "yacht" there’s just nothing pretentious about the old girl. No one is ever going to think “that couple has loads of money and think they're really cool, maybe I won’t talk to them.” Nope. Well, we are really cool but we don't have loads of money so please talk to us!
