The beginning
An adventure shared by five friends
In October 1992, five friends from Marion, Massachusetts—all in their early twenties—set sail on a 41-foot ketch rescued from Hurricane Bob and rechristened Lazarus. Without a designated captain, they voyaged as equal partners, bringing their own skills and personalities to life aboard.
“Let’s buy a boat
and sail it around the world.”
