About Taryn and Logan Pickard:

“We are a couple usually living onboard our 40-foot sailboat in the Pacific Northwest. Our doggo Max also lives onboard with us. We are currently in the process of rebuilding the boat but expect to be back to cruising this spring and hope to do so close to full time once we are back on the water! We have shared our journey online via YouTube since we began sailing three years ago. We aim to show an honest and open view of what it means to live on a sailboat- the ups and downs and everything in between.”
