Anna, a psychologist from Rotterdam, joined our flotilla to kick off her 6-month sabbatical — and it only took 7 days at sea to feel completely reset. No deadlines. No meetings. Just the rhythm of the ocean, meaningful conversations, and space to finally breathe. Sometimes, a single week is all it takes to reconnect with yourself.
Some people buy a boat before knowing what it takes to sail and maintain it. Different rig options require more or less physical labor. For example, we have slab reefing allowing us to sail faster due to a fully battened main HOWEVER we have to climb into the boom to straighten the sail before covering it. Alternatively, having a main that can be furled requires much less effort (but the boat goes a wee bit slower). Make sure you are happy with what it takes to make a boat work…with so many options, there’s a right boat for you. :) #sailinglife #sailing #sailboat
Before we untie the lines and chase the horizon, there’s a whole ritual that happens behind the scenes. ⚓ Engine check ⚓ Weather forecast ⚓ Fuel & water levels ⚓ Safety gear inspection ⚓ Navigation systems ready ⚓ Lines, sails & rigging secured Out here, freedom comes with preparation. Every departure starts long before we leave the dock. Ready to sail? 🌅 #SailingLife #BoatLife #Liveaboard #OceanAdventure
