  • Ever wonder what it's like to live at sea? It's a lot different living on a sailboat in the open ocean than living on land! Sailing the Bahamas, we spent 2 days way out at sea with no land in sight. There are... challenges.

      1 when you buy a boat

    Best decision I've ever made. Cruising life is so much fun and every day is different. Personally though, when shit hits the fan, that's when it gets really exciting and fun! Trying to make it around Cape Horn next year.

    We love our boat, this one weve had for 6years, before that we had an old chugger half the size for 2 years, before that a half cab, weve built 2 moorings and its cheap $53/yr, but atm we are packing up the farm with too many toys so its taking a while. We know how easy it is to waste water, keep fridges cold and watching the batteries and bilges daily, but thats boating and its the best, unfortunately not for everyone though x

      Don’t be dissuaded! We did two trips on that broken boat with lots of drama, and we STILL want to buy a boat to live on at least part time. Just maintain the boat to avoid a lot of the issues! I freaking love the ocean! We’re trying to crew another boat soon!

  • @SailingFrolic
    @SailingFrolic Před 9 měsíci

    Preparing a sailboat for open ocean conditions is by far the hardest part of it all.
    Once that’s done (if it’s done properly) it’s not that hard.
    Sounds like you would’ve definitely benefitted from having an experienced skipper onboard.

    I have been around the ocean all my alarms have built many boats it is a double-edged sword of Love and Hate when it's good it's really good I mean incredible breathtaking Beauties like you've never seen and when it's bad it will scare the life out of you you wait for Poseidon to swallow you whole I have seen boats with her transom ripped out and no one to be seen around them in between Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic on that passage that night a storm came up there was a 25 foot Bertram making the Crossing with us 5 people aboard they were never seen again
