About Us

Two landlubbers and their pets go to sea…

Hi! We're Kris and John Dony (rhymes with pony), and we've been traveling with our pets since 2018, leaving our Oregon farm for a life of adventure.  Travel with us as we take sailing lessons, downsize from a 160 acre farm to a travel trailer, RV across the country, buy a boat, meet wonderful people, visit interesting places and sail to the Bahamas for sailing, snorkeling and fishing during the winter. (We missed traveling to the Bahamas during the winter of 2021/22 due to a granddaughter's medical issues, but we're back!). This website is a work in progress, as I’m adding new and older posts from my journals each week, so please bear with me and come along for the ride!

Our cat Penelope even has her own Instagram page. Check it out at:
