Travel After four years of searching for a place to dock our home boat with good climbing nearby, we finally found it. (Photo: Olivia Caillouet) Published October 5, 2026 09:33AM Ever since my husband Chad and I started living aboard a boat four years ago, I had imagined jumping off the stern to go deep water soloing (DWS).
