Getting to Know the Lahue Family

Our Story


​We are the Lahue Family! Betsy and Bobby met in Jamaica in 1997, moved on a sailboat in 1999, transitioned to the suburbs, and married in 2000. Our family now three boys: Henry, Myles and J. Oliver.

Our family has been planning to take a sailing adventure for many years and made this a reality in 2016 by leaving our jobs, selling our house in the suburbs and moving onto Alkemi, a Malo 45 sailboat.

This website tells our story and shares our adventures.
