Monarch trails and tides

We are dedicated to a positive and authentic view of both sailing and hiking , I thru hiked the Pacific Crest Trail in 2019 and it was one of the best experiences of my life. 

I met lifelong friends while hiking the PCT while hiking, my “trail family” and I remain close to this day.  If you ever have a chance to hike the 2653 miles from Mexican border in California to the Canadian border in Washington please do it.  Highly recommended !

In October of 2025 I purchased a Morgan Out Island 415 a year ago and that was the first time in my 59 years that I had ever stepped foot on a sailboat.  

In my short sailing career, I have met some amazing people that ,like in the hiking world are some kindest and most generous folks to be around.  I learning to sail, I also recently had the good fortune of getting an amazing deal on an Islander Freeport 41.  So yes now I have 2 sailboats 😳.  The Islander is mid refit and I haven’t decided what path to take with her.  

So let’s adventure together!
