About the Omarsea Crew

We are the Trefethens. After 10 years of planning we decided to sell our home and buy a sailboat. In November 2007 we departed Portland Oregon for the Virgin Islands and our 50 foot sloop the OMARSEA. Our three children Ben, Juli and Steve are enjoying the benefits of being homeschooled. Join us on our continuing adventures as we explore the East coast of America on the way to New Zealand.

Genset DIY

G'Day Mates, We are counting down to our departure in November. Big news so far is our homeschool is a big success. The kids love working on math, spelling/grammer,reading and getting out for feld trips. Jean has done a fantastic job of evaluating the kids skills and matching them up with materials that really help each childs learning style.
In other news we are building a generator/watermaker for the Omarsea. From Plans found on the internet we have used the power of Ebay to get the various parts we need to design and build our very own diesel system from scratch. Here are some of the photos of the unit under construction.
