About Us

We’re Don and Nina, and we welcome you to read about our 2017-2024 adventure on S/V Enjoy, a 2012 Lagoon 421 catamaran.

In 2002-2003, we cruised on a 1993 Lagoon 42 TPI with our children. After returning to Maryland, we worked until such time that we could live the dream again. We sold our home, and divested ourselves of almost all our material possessions.

From November 2017 through November 2024, we cruised most of the year, working remotely to top off the cruising kitty. We are 100 Ton Inland USCG Captains, Commodores in the Seven Seas Cruising Association and members of the Ocean Cruising Club, the Panama Posse, and its subgroup the Pacific Posse.

Enjoy was a 2012 Lagoon 421 catamaran with three cabins and three heads, a center salon, large outside cockpit with seating for 10 and a separate lounging area in the front of the boat. 

A COVID project, Nina started writing a mystery series based on where we travel, with a strong, female lead. We welcome you following our progress and sharing your thoughts and wishes.
