Chad and Michelle (Dad and Mum), Teagan and Kellyn (2 daughters) and Quincy the Great Dane live on board their Aleutian 51 ketch-rigged sailboat Tulum V. They have lived on board permanently since July 2018 and are relative newbies to the cruising world. Their blog focuses on the practical side of living on board, prepping the boat for long-distance cruising and cruising on production sailboats. Even the dog has her own advice column!

At the time of posting (March 2020) the Tulum V crew are currently cruising in Mexico. They plan on spending next season in Baja, then slowly making their way down the coast of Mexico and Central America.

Tulum V’s blog/website started in 2014 and has continued to grow since then.
