After selling their business, Lori and husband Carl, left Dana Point, California aboard their 28-foot Bristol Channel Cutter, Bijou. Their intention was to spend the summer cruising the islands off the Southern California coast, then return home to start another business. However, nine years and over 20,000 nautical miles later, they've sailed from the west coast of the U.S. through the tropical regions of Mexico and Central America to the colder latitudes of England and Norway. Their latest adventures took them through the canals of Holland, Belgium and France.
