About Us
How We Met
We met in 2021 during the hot summer months in Guatemala, both waiting out hurricane season. Liz had just sailed her boat down from Mexico, and Rui had already had his anchor set in Rio Dulce for about two years.
Rio Dulce is a very active cruisers community, with many events happening every week. Liz and Rui had crossed paths at one of these events, but it wasn’t until mutual friends told Rui that Liz needed an extra hand on her boat while it was out of the water that the relationship started. A couple months later, we would both leave on our own boats, following each other down the river and out into the Caribbean.
In 2022, Rui sold his boat in Panama and joined It’s The Truth full time.
Liz
Liz grew up sailing on her dad’s Crossbow 40, Papillion, in the British Virgin Islands. After many lovely family vacations sailing around the islands, Liz’s parents sold the boat, and it wasn’t until many years later that Liz found herself aboard another one. Through a family friend, Liz found out about the Ocean Cruising Club, and through that sailed across the Atlantic Ocean, in 2018, for the first time. Liz was hooked from there on. Liz jumped on as many boats as possible, before finally purchasing It’s The Truth in 2021.
