Episode 1

Setting Sail Into The Unknown

We cast off from the pier, motored away, and did not sail… but we bought the boat anyway.

This is the story of how my husband (Bill) and I (Cheryl) - two non-sailors - came to own a 136-foot sailboat, with the crazy idea that we might sail around the world. If you're ready to set sail into the unknown and become inspired to satisfy your wanderlust each week, this is the podcast for you. 

In this inaugural episode, you’ll discover how this all started, from the first time Bill and I went sailing, to finding Abide - the sailboat of our dreams, and getting the crew on board.

Highlights from this episode:

  • How two non-sailors came to own a 136-foot sailboat.
  • How we found the crew that we would work with for the rest of our adventure so far.
  • The test trip that had us doing donuts around the bay for an hour.
  • The grinding halt that Covid brought to our plans and the revelation it brought us.

Cheryl Drury

Cheryl stayed home with her four children for many years, where she found her engineering and actuarial science degrees to be surprisingly useful. Together with her husband they also ran a horse boarding barn for several years. As new empty nesters, they sold the farm, moved to Charleston, SC, and bought Abide, a 136' sailboat, with the goal of sailing to as many places around the world as possible.
