Every horizon has a story waiting beyond it. Join Ray as he shares the people, places, challenges, and unforgettable moments that shape life under sail. Written in his own words, this journal offers an honest look at the adventures, lessons, and discoveries that come with following the wind wherever it leads.

At heart, we are adventurers, drawn to the water in all its forms. We scuba dive, kayak, swim, and for Ray, rowing has always been an integral part of his identity. Building an Oyster Yacht sailboat is a natural extension of this lifestyle. It’s not just about the destination; it's about creating something with our own hands and trusting it to carry us across oceans.
Embarking on a sailing adventure around the world is truly the adventure of a lifetime. It offers us the opportunity to slow down, explore the planet at sea level, and experience places in a way that few people ever do.
This journey is about more than just miles logged or ports visited. It's about building lasting memories—for us, for our family, and for the friends who will follow along as RayDar Love's 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.
Behind every great sailing adventure is a story worth telling. Ray and Darla sit down to share the vision, journey, and passion behind RayDar Love as they prepare for life at sea aboard their brand new Oyster Yachts Oyster 595.

Ray and Darla's sailing adventure is powered by the exceptional craftsmanship of Oyster Yachts. Renowned for their strength, safety, and comfort at sea, Oyster Yachts are built for serious offshore sailing and global exploration.
