Voyage of Wanderlust

Voyage of Wanderlust is the story of Walt and Jane, a couple who chose to leave behind the noise of the corporate world to pursue a life of voyaging under sail. Their home is SV Wanderlust, a 2014 Passport 545AC designed as a true bluewater sailboat, capable of carrying them safely across oceans and into remote anchorages. Built with strength, comfort, and self-reliance in mind, Wanderlust is more than just a boat; she is a partner in exploration, a platform for self-discovery, and a bridge to cultures and places far from the beaten path. Life at sea has given Walt and Jane a rhythm that is both demanding and deeply rewarding. Offshore passages require seamanship, discipline, and trust in each other, but they also provide a rare kind of peace — nights under a canopy of stars, sunrises over an empty horizon, and the sense of moving with the natural forces of wind and wave. When they reach land, the destinations are rich and varied: coral atolls in the Tuamotus, the volcanic peaks of the Marquesas, or quiet bays where they live simply off-grid. Yet, for them, voyaging isn’t just about the places they visit. It’s about the freedom to live differently, to pare life down to essentials, and to find joy in self-reliance. Through Voyage of Wanderlust, they share not only the technical side of sailing — the systems that keep them powered, the communications that keep them connected, the seamanship that keeps them safe — but also the philosophy of choosing this life. It is a modern expression of the sea gypsy spirit: a willingness to embrace uncertainty, to let go of excess, and to be fully present in the moment. Their story is not about chasing luxury or spectacle, but about living authentically and finding meaning in the journey itself. In telling their story, Walt and Jane hope to inspire others who dream of wide horizons, quiet anchorages, and the adventure of charting their own course.
