In this episode, we’re tackling some major last-minute boat projects, including re-doing the anti-fouling on our hull and scrambling to finalise our safety gear before departure. Whether you're into long-distance sailing, liveaboard life, or boat maintenance tips, this video gives a behind-the-scenes look at the intense (and often chaotic) final push before a round-the-world trip!

We're spending every waking hour on either fixing the boat or recovering from fixing the boat, so this episode is a lovely concoction of thoughts, a little sailing trip with friends, Copenhagen life and the odd boat jobs. We're also super excited to show you what we've been spending the past week and 50 hours+ on. Let's just say the boat will be much faster, cheaper and lower maintenance from now on :) As always thank you to our partners Watski and Orca for making sure we're well equiped for our imminent circumnavigation (in less than 6 weeks!)

Spanning from spring through to summer, this video takes you through all of the emotions, boat jobs and stress involved in prepping for an Atlantic crossing. From the moment we decided to commit, teaching Tandia to sail and dealing with multiple leaks... A big thanks to Watski for helping get our boat ready! https://www.watski.dk These boat jobs have taken us across multiple seasons, from being snowed in to summer, which is why we really rely on marino wool clothing. It's light and breathable, keeps you warm and you can wear it over and over again without it getting smelly... LOOW is an amazing, local company where we get all our gear from, and you can get 15% off with our code: TA15 https://www.loow.com/da For more day to day updates follow us on instagram: @ta.ndia @augustlacour (Currently 4,736 subscribers on board) 😉

This is just the beginning!

After enduring a very long cold winter on board in Copenhagen we finally get to take our first sail trip of the year! We are getting more and more excited for this new lifestyle as we explore some beautiful spots around Denmark southern Sweden... but (as anyone with a sailboat understands), there are always a string of issues that follow you, no matter how far you go.

In our last video we promised you a comparison between the monthly cost of an apartment versus a sailboat here in Copenhagen. The results are honestly not what we expected! Come along and get a sneak peak into our lives as we stay on our sail boat in the brutal winter in Copenhagen Denmark. As the harbour we’re currently in doesn’t allow us to stay permanently on the boat, we’ll still be registered in our apartment. You'll also get a little introduction to who August and Tandia are and what our lives look like. Don't forget to like and subscribe to get updated on when we leave for our World Sailing - it's also the best and easiest way you can support us. Hope you like it! All the best August and Tandia Follow us on Instagram @augustlacour @ta.ndia

Come along as we take the first steps on our journey to sail from one home to another. We're currently living in Copenhagen (where August is from) and planning to sail all the way to Sydney (where Tandia is from). We'll be sharing a lot of learnings first hand, as Tandia is new to sailing and August is a professional sailor. Follow us on Instagram @ta.ndia @augustlacour
