Sailing SV Sequence

We are a small family working together to ... come along and see. This is our story of where we've been and where we are going. Our experience is something we want to share. This journey started years ago and we are excited to bring you along now. We have gotten this far because of so many wonderful, caring, and loving people that have helped us along the way. It only takes a few to make a difference. Let's do this! The name Sequence fits our family and came from the joys of our personalities. Brittany has frequently said, "This is the Sequence of Events of the day", or things need to be in the right order. There are sequences that must happen in order for the next sequence to happen. Life has consistently changed our plans, and we love the Sequence of Events that led us to today. Sequence is a reminder to us and all those aboard, to take each event as it comes, and make the most out of it.

Sailing SV Bully

We're a family of 7, living life aboard our 1983 Vagabond 47. She was designed by the famous naval architect William Garden, and built in the notorious Taiwanese shipyards of the 70s and 80s. She weighs over 40,000 pounds, and pushes through rough seas like a bully... but that's not why we named her Bully. Actually, "Bully" is an archaic term used often in old sea shanties, and has a variety of meanings. Dating back to the 1800s, not only can Bully refer to a sailor who has had a bit too much rum (Bully in the Alley), but it was also used as an adjective -- a term of endearment and fondness towards those you'd find dashing, jovial, and high-spirited (Bully Boys)! ​ So, who better to sail our Bully Crew around, than SV Bully?

Onboard SV Tsunami

We’re a family of five that bought a 47 year old boat that had been left on the hard for 13 years. We followed our captains lead and let Dad show us everything, and as he learned we all have! After two years in the yard, bringing Tsunami back to all her glory, we set sail to warmer climates and away from the frigid NY December air. We’re constantly working to improve Tsunami, and make enough money to keep traveling… somehow we’ve managed to sail for three years and with no experience to start out with!!! We love to share our hard won lessons, and also hope to inspire others who come from nothing and don’t have much money. Anyone can make this life there’s, with a lot of hard work, imagination and drive!
