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!
