At heart, we are adventurers.
We are drawn to the water in all its forms. We scuba dive. We kayak. We swim. And for Ray, rowing has always been part of who he is.
Building a sailboat is a natural extension of that life. It is not just about the destination. It is about creating something with our own hands and trusting it to carry us across oceans.
Sailing around the world is the adventure of a lifetime. It is a chance to slow down, to explore the planet at sea level, and to experience places in a way few people ever do.
This journey is about more than miles logged or ports visited. It is about building lasting memories. For us. For our family. And for the friends who will follow along as the story unfolds.
Welcome aboard.
RayDar Love, a name Darla came up with, is a play on our names and a nod to the 1974 song Radar Love by Golden Earring, a soundtrack from when we were both growing up. It felt right. The name captures connection, movement, and shared history. This boat is our gift to each other, and to our family and friends who will be part of the journey and the memories it creates.

Ray and Darla’s journey is powered by the craftsmanship of Oyster Yachts. Built for serious offshore sailing and global exploration, Oyster yachts are known for strength, safety, and comfort at sea. To learn more about these remarkable yachts, visit the Oyster Yachts website. ⛵
