Our Story

Hey, We’re Mark & Jaclyn

We left behind corporate jobs and city life to chase sunsets, salty air, and a life less ordinary. The plan was five years — we made it happen in two.

Now we live aboard full-time with our dog, Sprocket, sailing slow and learning as we go. Hard Departure is where we share the lessons, the laughs, and the anchorages that made us fall in love with this life.

New here? Check out how we made the leap, how we make it work, and where we’ve dropped anchor lately.

Where are we?
