~ The adventures of one couple, a 28' sailboat and a Pacific Crossing ~

I’ve known Ryan Levinson for sometime so I can tell you, you're in for a treat. We met while working on an ambulance together in San Diego. Ryan has been a lot of things already: an EMT, professional kite surfer, SUP boarder, 100 ton merchant captian, and more; and all with Muscular Dystrophy. 

Our interviews to date have all been land-roamers, so I’m excited to share with you what life is like in the endless sea.

Ryan and his wife Nicole decided to sail their 38 foot sail boat, Naoma, down and across the Pacific. They're inspirational people who charge life in every aspect of the now. Learn about what provoked this life change, their preparations and adventures they encountered along the way.

My Favorite Quote From the Show

"Too much comfort is costly."

"There are two kinds of sailers... those that never leave dock, and those that prepare the best they can then go for it."

"You have to know how to become completely self-sufficient."

"Their are four major concerns on the water: water, fuel, power, and weather. It's kinda' neat in that sense because once you get out there it's simple."

"With Muscular Dystrophy it's like you are standing on a balance ball 24 hours a day."

"Life is like reading a good book, I'm super into it right now and I just want to see where it goes."

"I'm much more afraid of if we don't go."

"It's really a simple existence, you just preserve your shelter, food, and take care of one another."
