Captain Dave (Land Rover Man) and First Mate Donna (Navigator and Trip Planner) 

Dave is the captain of the catamaran Exit Only. He has lived outside the United States for the past twenty-five years with his wife and first mate, Donna.

Dave and Donna have sailed half-way around the world on their forty foot catamaran.  They started in Florida, sailed across the Caribbean, through the Panama Canal, and then across the Pacific Ocean to New Zealand and Australia.

They have lived in the USA, Puerto Rico, Panama, Kenya, Saudi Arabia, New Zealand and Australia.

They are currently cruising on their yacht in Australia and New Caledonia.

Donna is an expert navigator and she makes sure that Exit Only is on course.  When they are Outback and Beyond, Donna is the one who knows where they're at and where they're going.  Donna's forte is trip planning and coming up with an outstanding itinerary that is sure to take in all the major attractions found in the Outback and Beyond.  She always has an encyclopedic knowledge of their destinations.  She could easily write a Lonely Planet Guide to the Outback and Beyond.  Donna uses the local cruising radio nets to get the latest information on where they should go and what they should do when they get there. 

Dave is also known as Land Rover Man.  Dave and Donna have owned four Land Rover 110 Defenders.  They have driven more than one-hundred thousand kilometers off-road in the remote deserts of Arabia.  Dave does most of the off-road driving and Donna does the navigating.  Together they have proven that it's never over in a Rover.
