Web exclusive: the voyage of the Broken Compass

MONTHLY UPDATES FROM THROUGHOUT THE BLUE PLANET

By Bret and Chad van RodenPublished: April 01, 2011

Admit it: There are times you’d like to just chuck it all, give up the security of a lucrative career and sail off into the sunset.
   
Well, two 20-something professionals, twins Bret and Chad van Roden, didn’t wait until their golden years to go on the voyage of a lifetime. They left great jobs (Chad worked at Union Bank in Irvine), purchased an oceangoing sailboat – which they renamed The Broken Compass – and in October began circling the globe with little more than their seafaring knowledge, wide-eyed sense of adventure and Makai, their playful Siberian husky.
   
OC METRO is following Bret, Chad and Makai – along with the twins' younger brother, Tyler – as they circle the world by sail.
