Sailing: Brian Trautman Quits Job, Sells Everything to Sail Decade+ – Seattle to New Zealand Start, Sailing SV Delos YouTube (100M+ Views), 6 Continents, 40 Countries, All Oceans Crossed on 53ft Ketch.Have you ever wanted to just quit your job, sell your house and head out on an adventure for a decade? Yeah, me too. Today we chat with someone who actually did that and is still doing it, Brian Trautman. After being unsatisfied with the “perfect job”, house, car, etc., he came across a book about sailing across the ocean and knew that was what he needed to do with his life. He sold everything he owned, bought a boat, and sailed to New Zealand from Seattle. That first experience started a trend that would extend for more than a decade and lead to countless adventures that have been chronicled on his YouTube channel: Sailing SV Delos, gaining over 100 million views in the process. To date, Brian has visited 6 continents, 40 countries, and crossed every ocean on his 53 foot Ketch. Enjoy!youtube.com/svdelosInstagram: @svdelosFacebook: @svdelossvdelos.comAthletic Brewing Company is a pioneer in craft non-alcoholic beer.

Ski Expedition, Cycling, Sailing: Chris and Marty Fagan First American Married Couple Unsupported Ski to South Pole – 48-Day Antarctic Coast to Pole Journey, Africa Bike Tours, Alaska Sailboat Racing, Book The Expedition: Two Parents Risk Life and Family in Quest to South Pole. When Chris and Marty Fagan go on an adventure, they go big! From bike tours through Africa to racing sailboats in Alaska, the couple is a dynamic duo of adventurous spirit. Over the winter of 2013/2014, that spirit culminated in a 48-day ski expedition to the South Pole. Upon completion, they became the first American married couple (and second married couple in history) to complete a full unsupported, unguided, unassisted ski from the Antarctic coast to the South Pole. In fact, they're two of just over 100 people in all of history to have traveled to the South Pole in that way.Chris is an amazing storyteller, and I hope you enjoy this conversation about two parents risking it all for a chance at an extraordinary adventure.  Chris' book about the trip, The Expedition: Two Parents Risk Life and Family in an Extraordinary Quest to the South Pole, comes out September 3, 2019.
