Welcome to the Slip Away Website.  We are Captains Rich Crowell and Jan Schwab, and Slip Away is our 1978 Islander Freeport 41' ketch-rig sailing yacht.  We left Los Angeles (Marina del Rey) in April 2003, and our long-term plan is to spend the next several years exploring the world. 

We arrived in Opua, New Zealand, on December 16, 2011, and we plan an extended stay here - land travel on both the north and south islands, a number of boat repair/maintenance projects, and a trip to the USA (by plane) during the summer of 2012 (NZ's winter time) to visit family and friends.  

We keep a log of our travels and photos on this website.  We hope you enjoy it!
