Welcome Aboard Meraviglia!
We are Bob and Kim Stephens and we’re voyaging around the world on our 47-foot sailboat. Living on a sailboat is rarely ‘plain sailing,’ but it’s always an adventure. From mastering the basics of navigation to fixing things in the middle of nowhere, our journey is about learning, exploring, and embracing the unexpected. Come along as we document the trials, triumphs, and breathtaking moments of life as full-time sailors.
