We are Eric and Janet, a Chicago couple and owners of Tortuga, a 2012 Allures 45.

Together we have visited over a third of the countries of the world; backpacking through Southeast Asia, walking the Inca Trail, fly fishing Patagonia, exploring the ruins of accent Europe, photographing wildlife in Africa, helping earthquake victims in Haiti, or sailing the north Atlantic.

This is our journey; a space where we can document what we see and feel as we continue to explore our world either from Tortuga’s decks or trekking along some misty jungle path.
