A lifelong sailor, Adam Morris spent his formative years sailing dinghies at Raritan Yacht Club in New Jersey, a foundation that paved the way for his current life as a liveaboard on SV Confianza, affectionately known as Connie. He and his co-captain, Angie, embrace the sea full-time, balancing passion for cruising with the demands of working remotely from their floating home. As the voice behind clevermariner.com, Adam chronicles their journey through the complexities of upgrading, maintaining, and outfitting Connie for a lifestyle that merges the freedom of the open sea with the necessities of full-time work and living.
