​Bruce and Laura have been sailing together for 30 years, mostly in the Caribbean but including New England and western Mediterranean.  They purchased Pacific Hwy, a Davidson 44 sloop, in California in April 2012, did the 2012 Baja Haha to Mexico and the 2013 Puddle Jump to the South Pacific.  Our plan for the 2016 season: Sail from Australia to New Caledonia. Visit Vanuatu and Solomons and continue on to Palau.  2017, Indonesia. 2018 Haulout and refit in Malaysia. Planning to cross the Indian Ocean in 2019! Oh! And since we're leaving the Pacific behind, we've changed our name to Neptune's Highway!
