Nick and Megan have been #sailing and living #OffTheGrid on and off for the past 21 years. We love sharing our passion for #travel and #nature and hope we meet you out there!
Nick's Books and Audiobooks:
GET HER ON BOARD is about getting that significant other to buy into this cruising nonsense. People seem to like it.

LIVE ON THE MARGIN is about making money on the go trading stocks and options. I co-wrote it with Pat Schulte of Bumfuzzle. People seem to like that one too. All proceeds donated to our boat.

I feel like the last couple of months of KZfaq sailing have been like an episode of Opra, and you get a boat, and you get a boast, and you get a boat, everyone gets a boat”, I’m so glad The O’Kelly’s won’t be on the hard! And what a ride. Outremer did themselves proud again.

It is a wonderful surprise to see this happen. Of course you know that your fame and credibility provide an enormous amount of advertising for Outremer. And it is the kind of advertising that money cannot buy. What is happening is called synergy. I don't know who conceived it but I guess it was the brainchild of the woman who greeted you from Outremer and drove you around. Never underestimate women. They have ideas and can do things. While the concept of synergy is easy to explain, the whole is much more than the sum of the parts the creation of it is far more difficult. But in my view, this one will work. I am pleased that you like the boat. That is good too.

Now that is a Christmas present to remember. Merry Christmas and a happy New Year’s. PS, I live in Panama City Florida, and you are so right that the drivers are terrible. I remember that guy from when Riley and Elayna got their boat.

“And now I’m ruined…” such a familiar refrain! After floating the Rogue River wild and scenic section many times, we paid to stay at two of the lodges (Black Bar, Paradise) instead of sleeping in tents, cooking our own food, etc. Such a glorious difference. Haven’t floated the Rogue as a camper since! Oh, damn…haven’t floated the Rogue at ALL since!

I haven't sailed since the late 80's and once dreamed of owning a big cat or tri, but alas that never happened. Watching you two has renewed that dream, even if I'm getting a bit old to start sailing again.

Great when there's a group of people with the creativity, trust, experience, competence, and risk tolerance to put something like this together.
