Rich and Devon’s sailing story started the way most crazy sailing stories start...intoxication. The good news is that Rich didn’t want a divorce. He didn’t want to have a third child. He just wanted to quit his job and sail around the world!!!

Luckily, so did Devon.

Rich and Devon finished their dinner, drinks, and lovely family vacation in Hawaii. Upon returning home the research and preparations for their life on the water began.

Eventually, they found S/V Mobert and started downsizing. They’ve now been on the water full time for a little over a year and decided that they wanted to try to have a means of income. Their purchase of Sea-Tech Systems is that income stream to keep their cruising kitty topped up.

Yup, Rich, and Devon decided that they were capable of owning and operating a business remotely from their sailboat while cruising with their family. It’s right up their alley as Rich is an IT/Tech type of guy and they had to figure out how they were going to stay connected enough to run a business from a sailboat in remote locations. Your needs may be a little different than theirs, but they’ve got the knowledge and systems to help you stay connected as much or as little as you desire.

I hope you enjoy listening to how the Andersons have been able to sail Abroad as much as I enjoyed chatting with them!
