Owner context
Doug and Marjorie’s cruising story.
Owner overview
Doug and Marjorie Weibel began cruising in 2017. While not full-time liveaboards, they have spent the majority of their time aboard over the last several years and have sailed Frolic as far north as Newfoundland and as far south as Trinidad. They love the cruising lifestyle, exploring new places, and spending time on the water. Living on Frolic has given them the opportunity to spend time in foreign countries, getting to know the people and the culture. It has given them the opportunity to practice their favorite water sports like wing foiling, wind surfing, scuba and free diving, and spearfishing. And it has given them the opportunity to live in touch with nature and grow to love the sea.
