A forgotten dream and unplanned circumstances propelled Matty & Brit into sailboat ownership. But... let's start from the beginning.
Matty & Brit and met at 17 y.o. in Miami, Florida at their summer jobs as summer camp counselors. They quickly fell in love with adventure (and each other) and have been in separable ever since!
By the time they were 22 the adventure bug bit them and they took off to the west coast. It was a completely different world away from family, friends and everything familiar. But nothing could provide them more growth than to move away and make it on their own.
After they completed their education they had a few long conversations on what they wanted to do in life and like most couples starting a family was at the top of the list. But a conventional life with a white picket fence was never quite in the picture. Brit wanted a Sailing Catamaran and to own and run a successful hotel and Matty...well he just wanted to make Brits dreams come true.
But then the Rat Race of Southern California got the best of them. They found themselves working long hours, driving through the infamous traffic and completely losing sight of their goals. Until their family began asking for babies. BABIES! Babies, they all wanted babies.
"Honestly we didn't know what to do differently to have babies so we went to a few specialists"
Turns out Brit had not 1 not 2 but 3 conditions that made it difficult for her to conceive so they dipped into their savings to give In vitro fertilization a shot. Matty and Brit went to countless doctor appointments and Brit endured hundreds of injections to start a family...Long story short they weren't succesful and were extremely down on themselves.
"There are people going to the doctor multiple times a week to try and stay alive and cherishing their last moments. I am in a position where I am trying to create a life. I have my health I have my happiness...how dare I take that for granted"
So they had another few long conversations about what they wanted to do in life... and they revisited the possibility of SAILING!
Now Matty & Brit didn't personally know anyone who sailed or had a sailboat and had never even been on a sailboat so they turned to YouTube so see if maybe someone out there was cruising around the oceans.....and down the rabbit hole they went...
