Born for distance · built for blue water
Exit Plan is just getting started.
From launch day to the first miles home, this is the living story of a Nordhavn 71, the family aboard, and the adventure unfolding one horizon at a time.

The idea
A travel site that feels like a film — not a brochure.
Big photography, short cinematic chapters, route maps, trip updates, video, and a simple backend so new posts and photos can be added from the boat.
Origin story
From shipyard to open water.
The first visual sequence: built and launched overseas, loaded onto a ship, carried to Ensenada, unloaded, then cruised on her own bottom to Dana Point.
First passage home
Ensenada to Dana Point
After the offload, Exit Plan’s story changes from cargo to captain: north along the coast toward Dana Point.
Coming next · June 2–12
Dana Point to Anacortes
The next route card points Exit Plan up the Pacific coast toward Washington, with a clearer West Coast map and a planned passage window.

Launch day
The day a long plan became a boat in the water.

Progress photos become the prologue.

Loaded on the ship
We can use a stylized transport graphic here unless real loading media turns up.

Ensenada unload
A real Nordhavn 71 offload in Mexico, used as an honest reference for Exit Plan’s arrival chapter until actual Ensenada media turns up.
Chapter 04
On her own bottom
The run north toward Dana Point becomes the payoff shot.
Follow the voyage
Make it feel like people are aboard with us.
Instead of a normal boat blog, Exit Plan can become a living expedition channel: fast updates, cinematic chapters, map replays, and small human moments that make friends want to check back.
Where is Exit Plan?
A beautiful current-position card with the latest port, anchorage, or underway note. This is the first thing repeat visitors will look for.

Ship's journal is warming up.
The newest published post will surface here automatically, so Follow the Voyage stays tied to the blog instead of becoming another separate thing to maintain.

The planned northbound run becomes the next public thread: route notes, weather windows, photos, and quick updates from the boat.

Sunday ship’s note
One short post every week: best photo, miles made, weather, repair/problem solved, and one sentence from the crew.
Life aboard
Food, family, weather windows, dock friends, wildlife, boat chores, and the funny parts. The human texture is what makes the adventure sticky.
Postcards from Exit Plan
Every major stop gets a single gorgeous card people can text or share: location, map dot, hero photo, and one line from the log.

For now this is a design placeholder. Later it can connect to email, Facebook, YouTube, or a simple onboard publishing backend.

The first long-form story we’ll build: the route that brought Exit Plan home.
Last two months in pictures
A fast visual recap from the March/April batch: boat details, dock life, launch context, and people-scale moments.
Route map + current position
The repeat-visit feature: a map that answers “where are they now?” in five seconds.
Photo language
Deep blues, warm teak, salt air, and scale.
Facebook, YouTube, Instagram — one story, many channels.
Phase two will add social cards, YouTube embeds, share images, and a backend workflow so an update can become a website post and social-ready content.
