Welcome to Sailing Coronado! We are John & Anna β an adventure-seeking, travel-loving couple currently exploring the world on SV Coronado, our 45β Lagoon 450S catamaran. We love all of the experiences of travel: trying new food, experiencing different cultures, and meeting more of the fascinating people that inhabit planet Earth. We also love sailing and find our hearts are happiest when we are on the water. This combination makes exploring the world via sailboat pretty amazing!
This site was created to let our friends and family follow along on our journey. Itβs also our place to document our adventure so we can look back on it later. We post our most frequent updates on Instagram and Facebook. You can see exactly Where We Are currently in the world on our live tracking page. You can also check out our Blog, see the Timeline of how we became full-time cruisers, or read more about our background on our About Us page.
We are excited to share our journey with you!
