We, Chris Myles & K.T. Roddick, started our "around the world" adventure on December 18, 2003 from Ventura, California. To date we have sailed over 27,000 nautical miles! We are currently continuing our westward journey, traveling through the Red Sea to the Mediterranean. Our most recent plan has us returning to the Eastern Coast of the United States sometime in 2010.

Announcement
For the next few months (over the winter) we will be staying mostly around Finike (plus a flight home to the States). Since we don't have a lot to report, we will post most new news on our SV Billabong Blog (until the next cruising season starts). Note that the blog has its own subscription links if you are interested in knowing when it is updated.
And for food or photo fans we will be regularly updating our two other blogs: Snaps360 and From the Galley.

Frequently Asked Questions
Over the last few years we've received a lot of questions
about cruising, getting ready to cruise, and our lifestyle.
Finally, we've taken the time to post all the questions & answers for

Cruising Costs
EVERYBODY asks us how we afford to do this and what it
costs ... well it's no longer a secret!

"stuff" out there we have created two new Blogs:

most to us.
