Frequently asked questions
Which boat names appear in the story?
S/V Perfect Sense (it’s painted on the aft of their boat)
Is there a verified net-worth figure?
No verified financial disclosure is cited in this profile. The earlier estimate has been removed because a boat’s value, video views and assumed income do not establish someone’s net worth.
