⛵ Cast Off June 2027
Retirement isn’t an ending.
It’s the departure.
We spent decades serving country, community, and corporations. Now, we’re making a plan to cruisethe world full-time on a fixed income and some side hustles—proving that you don't need a trust fund to cast off the lines and live adrift.
We believe in radical transparency. No hand-waving, just actual numbers from our real fixed retirement income, any additional income, and all expenses. We will always show our budget and outcomes updated monthly here.

WELCOME ABOARD
We’re Lisa & Danny Fitzpatrick
A Navy Veteran & a Tech Educator who chose adventure over comfortable contraction.
We’ve spent our lives building things for other people. Danny served in the Navy and managed commercial portfolios, while Lisa designed healthcare technology platforms and served fourteen years as a Senior Pastor, shepherding communities through their hardest seasons.
Living on a fixed income in Progreso, México, we watched cruise ships pass on the horizon and started doing the math. We discovered a hidden ecosystem—repositioning cruises, casino stacking, and back-to-back logic—that made full-time travel cheaper than staying home.
"We are not travel influencers. We are lifelong community builders who happen to be taking our tables onto the open oceans. Come in, we’re saving you a seat."
Danny
