We have officially started our van conversion on Blue, our long wheelbase, medium roof Ford Transit 250. The first project was to install a roof fan and ventilator to cool down the interior when it's hot outside. This required cutting a 14" x 14" hole in the roof of our beautiful van. Well, the cut is made, and I'd say Blue has officially lost his virginity.

This required cutting a large, 14” x 14”, hole in the roof of our beautiful van.

We are David and Marcie Lynn and we've lived aboard our Liberty 458 cutter-rigged sailboat since 2000.
What began as an urge to travel slowly and economically at our own pace ended up an adventure of a lifetime.
Well, here we are ... nearly 90,000 miles under the keel, 5 continents, 5 Great Southern Capes, 36 countries and almost two decades later, still taking one passage at a time and going just a little further.
