About Ken and Roberta

My wife, Roberta, and I have owned a variety of boats including a Nordhavn 62, a Nordhavn 68 and a Grand Banks 60. We’ve cruised around 60,000nm so far and have some ambitious cruising ahead, including the NW Passage.

As of 2025 we are just completing a major refit of a 90′ Doggersbank by Moonen yacht.

A great way to learn more about us is to google “Roberta Williams Sierra On-Line”

Or, just look through the blog entries on this site.

Some of you may remember Roberta and I from our long distant working lives. We founded a computer game company, in 1979, called Sierra On-Line, and ran it through 1996 when it was sold. We made games like: Kings Quest, Leisure-Suit Larry, Half-Life and hundreds of others.
