Sailing Avemar

🥾 PCT NOBO 26 🥾 AT NOBO 25 🥾 Foothills Trail (2X) 🥾 AT 23

We’re Bill (“Uncle Bill”) and April (“Pace Setter”) — a couple living full-time aboard our sailboat Avemar. After spending seven unforgettable months hiking 2,200 miles from Georgia to Maine on the Appalachian Trail, we’re back under sail and continuing our journey of simple living, adventure, and discovery at sea.

Join us as we share stories from both mountains and oceans — from quiet anchorages and sunrise passages to trail memories, gear lessons, and the transitions between hiking boots and bare feet on deck.
We create videos about sailing, cruising life, off-grid adventure, and long-distance hiking, all told through a lens of curiosity, humor, and gratitude.

⚓ Subscribe to follow our ongoing voyages aboard Avemar, reflections from our Appalachian Trail thru-hike, and everything we learn along the way about living small, traveling slow, and chasing freedom wherever the wind (or trail) leads.
