If you are long time followers of the blog, you already know…this is Captain Andrew, and I am First Mate, helms-woman, and logkeeper, Leslie Godfrey. If you are new here, welcome! This blog is the real life, oddly compelling story of a sailing circumnavigation around the world. Our voyage cast off February 28, 2016, and to date we have sailed from San Diego, California, USA to Brazil…the (very) LOOOOONG way, i.e. Westward across the South Pacific, the Indian Ocean, and most recently, the South Atlantic Ocean.

We haven’t always been citizens of the sea. Andrew and I both grew up in the high desert mountains near Salt Lake City, Utah, several hundred miles away from any ocean. Our dream to circumnavigate the world materialized out of nowhere in the winter of 2004. Yet, something (someone?) whispered in our ears “how would it be, if we all went to sea?” 

This is Oddgodfrey.
