Faye & Ryan.
Hello! We are Ryan and Faye, a lively couple whose love story is a delightful mix of affection, humor, worldwide travels, and a dash of sky-high aspirations. Our journey together began 19 years ago amidst the vibrant, taco-filled streets of Bucerias, a charming seaside town near Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. It was there, under the ocean's gentle breeze, that we found our shared enthusiasm for flying and the ocean. Our zest for exploring soon became the compass for our lives, guiding us through a path filled with unexpected twists and turns. We're thrilled to be on this enchanting global expedition, powered by joy, love, and the occasional spontaneous deviation!
Faye
I'm Faye, a mix of caregiver, entrepreneur, and late-blooming sea enthusiast. Growing up in the Saskatchewan Prairies, I was more familiar with wheat fields than waves. It wasn't until my early 30s, when I met Ryan, that I swapped prairie dogs for seagulls. The ocean's charm won me over - there's nothing quite like the sunlight shimmering on the water like a disco ball and those dramatic sunsets where it seems the sky is flirting with the sea. Sailing? It's a thrilling roller coaster on water, and I'm learning that the ocean is a teacher with a sense of humor, giving me a new "sea-cret" lesson every day.
Ryan
Hello! I'm Ryan, an adventurous spirit with a dual flair for flying and entrepreneurship. My journey has been a unique blend of a 29-year career as a professional pilot and entrepreneurial ventures, each fueling my passion for exploration and new challenges. Now, I'm charting a new course, swapping skies for seas.
Together with my wife, we're first-time sailors embarking on an exhilarating adventure around the world in our Catamaran. This journey represents not just a change in scenery, but a significant leap into unknown waters, both literally and metaphorically. For us, it's a daring move from seasoned professions to navigating the vast and unpredictable oceans.
This sailing adventure is more than a trip; it's a testament to our belief in embracing life's transitions and pursuing dreams at any stage. As we sail from one horizon to the next, we hope to inspire others to chase their passions, no matter how unconventional they may seem.

The Essence of Our Connection
Ocean, Exploration, and Occasional Seasickness. Our story is anchored in a shared passion for the ocean and exploration, with a dash of humor to keep us buoyant. We've spent more days and nights under the vast sky than we can count, learning to navigate not only the seas but also the unpredictable waters of life together. This journey has been an ongoing lesson in patience (especially when the GPS acts up), resilience, and how to dance in harmony with nature’s rhythm - even when it’s more of a rumba than a waltz. Sailing, it turns out, is a fantastic way to build character... and biceps.
Why We Suddenly Decided to Sail Around the World
Our decision to set sail around the globe was less of a well-charted plan and more of a ‘Why not?’ moment. Inspired by Ryan’s lifelong dream, which grew stronger with every beautiful sunrise (and the occasional burnt pancake breakfast on deck), every storm we weathered (sometimes literally holding onto our hats), and every new shore we discovered. This journey is our bold move to embrace life in all its glory, seek wonder in the mundane, and experience the world without any filters.
