We are Jenna Miller and Jamie Utzschneider, and we hope to celebrate out 10th wedding anniversary next May in Bora Bora, the site of our honeymoon in 2003 as part of this incredible dream come true to be cruising the world. Our children Leo and Hazel complete the regular Sophie crew, and we will be joined by family and friends throughout our travels. In our shore life we live on Mercer Island, WA and are proud members of the Seattle Yacht Club. Jamie recently retired from Microsoft after nearly 18 years there and Jenna is on a leave of absence from Microsoft as we start the trip. Leo is 8, and Hazel is 4 ½. We’ll give them the opportunity to introduce themselves in their own posts.
Wow…. You are finally doing it! The Chan family wishes you well and Faye says if you need any advice on homeschooling front, just FB or email us!
Jenna, Jamie, Leo and Hazel,
We had a telephone call from Sarah and Terry last night reminding us of this wonderful trip you are experiencing. We have just read all of your blogs and will continue to follow your adventures. What happy memories you are making! We feel like we are the invisible passengers on your cruise. May God bless you and keep you safe.
Fondly,
Carl and Carol Miller
So great to find out about you today from Don Margraf and to start following your post- we are a family of 8 with 7 of us hoping to leave San Francisco next summer/fall on a catamaran. We arent sure if we’ll do the Pacific spin over a 2year horizon or the Carribean/Central AMerica thing. Really looking forward to spending time on your blog and to send you questions! 🙂

Hi Chris — Feel free to ask away any time. My wife and I are ex-Microsoft. This is SO much better than work!

Have a GREAT time and memorable moments with your Family and Friends!
