Welcome to the website of Lou DIetz and Mary Heeney, and children Emily and Martin.  We left San Francisco in September, 2003, and finished our trip in New Zealand in February, 2006.  See the links for travelogs and photos from different parts of our journey.  

We settled back in Mountain View in June 2006.  

We have dusted off our website in commemoration of the 20th anniversary of our sail.  We hope you enjoy reading about our adventure.
