Roy and Mary Stegall embark upon the next stage in their lives as they sell their Atlanta home, say goodbye to friends and relocate to Punta Gorda Florida where their recently purchased Island Packet 38 awaits them.

"Retirement" to many may mean a more relaxed and sedentary lifestyle, but those who answer the call of boating look forward to adventure and realization of a lifetime of dreams and aspirations.

Many years of power boating, extensive study and courses through the Atlanta Sail and Power Squadron and Windsong Sailing Academy have prepared Roy and Mary for their switch from power to sail to make their dream of living afloat possible. 

Read their story as we follow them along the road of their dreams. As updates become available we will publish their journals as their adventure unfolds.
