Gregg/Captain:  40-something. Originally from Lisle, IL.  Bachelors in Electrical Engineering from University of Iowa, Masters in Business Administration from University of Connecticut.  Sailing around the world has been Gregg's life-long dream.  While that won't be happening aboard Mirasol, he has thoroughly enjoyed exploring the US East Coast south to Grenada.

Jen/Admiral:  40-something.  Originally from Lake Geneva, WI.  Bachelors in Engineering-Computer Science from University of Colorado.  Having always loved travel and photography, Jen thought living on a boat sounded like a good idea.

Quinn/Swab:  6.  Born in Barrington, IL, on July 19, 2005.  Home-schooled.  Likes living on the boat, hashing, snorkeling, Legos, doing art projects, and asking "why?". 

We have lived aboard Mirasol since July 25, 2008.  We chose a catamaran mostly for its stability, roominess, and comfortable living space.  Our plans are to cruise until June of 2012, then move ashore and go back to work (and school for Quinn).  We don't yet know where we'll end up settling, but it will most likely be back in the US somewhere.
