As we expected during our Winter stay in Turkey, there would be storms. We are currently sailing our way South to see as much of the coast as possible. Stopping at a place called Kakova Road we have found a bay to anchor tight for the next 3 days due to a nasty frontal system making its way around the area. Rain, Thunder storms and winds to 35knts (65km/h) . Life on board can be quite uncomfortable in these conditions with rolling swells rocking the yacht side to side causing endless bangs and crashes of lines and equipment being thrown about not to mention the howling sounds the rigging makes in even moderate winds. WE make do with games, music and family time until the weather clears for sailing again.Be sure to check back here for location and track updates https://freedomfamily.nz/locations/where-are-we-now/ --------------------------------------------------- Please consider becoming a Member Supporter and hit the JOIN button.. or just LIKE & SUBSCRIBE!

Everyone dreams of sailing into the sunset, exploring islands on Monday mornings instead of going to the office, kiteboarding in paradise... But nobody talks about the toilet clogging at 2 AM, living with a fridge smaller than a shoebox, or storms appearing out of nowhere with zero time to react. I'm planning to live full-time on a sailboat, and here's what no one tells you until it's too late. Yes, the dream is real - the freedom, exploration, living places that cost thousands to visit. But there's a reality side that sailing influencers don't show you. Before you sell everything for boat life, watch this honest breakdown of what full-time sailing actually looks like. #sailboat #liveaboard #sailing #reality #boatlife #honest #truth #storms #maintenance #freedom #exploration #dreams #fulltime #sailinglife #realitycheck" This balances the dream with the harsh realities while maintaining intrigue about what challenges he'll reveal.

Before sailing to BVIs and San Juan on my friend's boat, we put my dinghy on the deck and outboard stored away. Two of us did that but when I got back, it was just me to put it back in the water. The time lapse misses some of the bug wind gusts that made the dinghy hard to manage. Getting the dinghy in the water wasn't so bad but the outboard was tough. It's pretty heavy and we stored it in an awkward spot for one person to get it out. But everything worked out in the end.
