The aft cabin is one of the biggest spaces on Vela, but we still see so much potential to optimize! Here's what we're planning: ?? Extra Storage: We're building cabinets on each side of the bed and adding shelves inside the hanging lockers-because you can never have too much storage for clothes and gear on a boat. ? Desk Transformation: That "make-up table" (seriously, who uses it?) is getting a makeover! We're turning it into a retractable desk with shelves above-perfect for working or planning our next adventures. ?? Ventilating Cupboard Doors: On our nice-to-have list are ventilating doors for better airflow and to prevent condensation-practical and pretty. ? Watermaker Plans: We're considering fitting the membranes for our watermaker under the bed, making good use of otherwise empty space. This cabin is already cozy, but we can't wait to make it even more functional for life on board. What do you think of our plans? Any ideas we should consider? Drop them in the comments! ? ?

For the past 3 weeks, we've almost shown you every nook and cranny of Vela, sharing how to live aboard and our plans to upgrade her for our circumnavigation. Today, we're switching gears and talking about the numbers. ? Owning and upgrading a boat isn't cheap, and spoiler alert: we haven't won the lottery or landed big sponsors. This dream is built on years of hard work, planning, and budgeting. ? From yearly expenses like insurance and harbor fees to big upgrades like navigation systems, electric setups, and new sails-being a boat owner comes with a price tag. ?? So, how much does it really cost to buy, maintain, and sail a boat around the world? We break it all down for you in today's episode! ? Can you guess our biggest expense so far? Watch the video to find out, and let us know if you think the cost of boat life is surprising or expected! ?
