About Us



Hello!  We are Jolanda, Tod, and Tessa.

We have actively sailed  and lived aboard our sailboat Bliss and other boats on the San Francisco Bay for many years. In 2009 we took a 2 month trip south to the Channel Islands, and knew that we wanted to do a longer term sailing adventure. And here we are, years of planning and saving later.




We know firsthand that  life is way too short, and we love to explore and see new places with our daughter. We left Berkeley in September 2014 for an open-ended travel adventure. For 4 seasons we explored Pacific Mexico and the Sea of Cortex by boat, and used her once- removed cousin, our RV Betsy, for trips in the US and Canada. In March 2019 we sailed across the Pacific from Puerta Vallarta, Mexico, to the Marquesas, French Polynesia. Currently Bliss is stored there, patiently waiting till we can return to continue our sail westbound.

We write this blog mainly as a journal for ourselves, and family and friends. If you found our blog in a different way, and enjoy reading it, please let us know. We love to hear from you! You can contact us at aboardbliss at gmail dot com.
