Ahoy! We are Connor and Indigo Fair, of S/V Osprey. We are a couple of twenty-somethings who, with the help of our trusty little dog Marina, are preparing and outfitting our 37 foot sailboat for long term cruising. We just purchased our new (and hopefully last) boat and are hard at work getting her ready to cruise. Our boat is currently on the hard in the Pacific Northwest and if all goes as planned (which it rarely does) will be setting off in September 2018. This has been a dream of ours for many years and after sailing extensively in the Pacific Northwest, we are eager to take the big left turn and set off on our next adventure. We’ve spent the last few years living small between boats and motor homes, paying minimal rent and spending as little money as possible. The last few winters we’ve lived in Hailey, a wild west town in Idaho, while working, snowboarding and planning. With this blog we aim to inspire others and prove that you don’t need a hefty bank account or a life’s savings to live your dream. Most reasonable goals can be achieved with patience and hard work (a good partner doesn’t hurt either). Keep checking in for plenty of DIY boat projects, some backstory as to how we arrived here and the adventures to come. Thanks for reading and stay on the lookout for Fair Winds Ahead!
Fair Winds Ahead 
Sounds like you have a great adventure ahead! And it sounds like our wakes will probably cross 🙂 Where do you keep Osprey in the PNW? We’re in Port Angeles and plan on starting to mosey south this spring – plans are drawn in sand at low water, of course, but maybe we’ll see you out there! In the meantime, looking forward to following your blog!

Thanks for the comment guys! We keep Osprey in Anacortes for the winter and on San Juan Island in the summer. It sounds like you have already had an amazing adventure and we look forward to reading about your next one. We’ll be back out to Washington in about a month. Would love to get together before you head south!

That would be great! I’m not sure we’ll do any San Juan Islands cruising this spring, but if we do, we’ll let you know! Or if you sail down to Port Townsend or something, let us know! Not a whole lot of young cruisers out there – be fun to meet and swap stories 🙂

Absolutely!! I imagine we’ll make a trip to Port Townsend sometime soon. I’ll send you an email with our number. Really hope to cross paths up here but if not I’m sure we’ll see you down south!

Thanks for following our adventures in sailing and photography. We are at a similar point, about to move on board permanently… only at a different life stage! Looking forward to following your experiences too! Chris & Wade
