We all have bucket lists: meaningful ideas and plans we hope to realize at some point in our lives. Retired business owner Skip Lumley made his idea real in his late 70s by sailing the Caribbean and Mediterranean, and crossing the Atlantic with the help of his friend and experienced sailor, Henry Raffel, retired military aviator and commercial airline captain.

Learn about cruising under sail, the planning and preparation needed, safety considerations, and their real-life experiences of weeks at sea and at port.

The COVID-19 pandemic and sailing near geographically war-torn zones are some of the reflections on their adventures as they discuss the curiosities of cruising life.
