Who We Are:
We’re David and Stacey, full-time voyagers aboard Stinkpot, a classic 1982 44’ DeFever Offshore Cruiser. We live aboard year-round and document real-world cruising life as it happens—on the hook, in marinas, underway, and during refits and repairs.
David brings deep experience in navigation and marine technology, while Stacey leads our storytelling, photography, and social media presence. Together, we share practical insights rooted in lived experience, not marketing copy.
What We Do:

Our content spans written posts, photography, and social media, with an emphasis on clarity, honesty, and usefulness to other cruisers.

- Our audience includes experienced cruisers, Loopers, and those actively planning or upgrading for extended cruising.
- Our visibility is built on trust and long-term engagement, not one-off promotions.
