Laughter Journey ...
the adventures of the sailing Earls
about us
We are Jennifer and Harley Earl, blue water sailors who have been traveling around the world by boat for over 20 years. We have over 180,000 nm of sailing between us, have circumnavigated twice, and raised our daughter out here in the big blue.
These pages are for our friends and family to follow us and keep track of our travels, and hopefully share in our lives as we live, love, laugh and journey together on the heavenly seas.
