We know that learning to sail can be overwhelming and there is a lot to take in. In an effort to help, we’ve created a series of “Bite Sized Lessons” taken straight out of our textbooks – Sailing Made Easy and Coastal Cruising Made Easy. In this lesson we learn how tell tales behave in different conditions, and how to use them to keep your sails trimmed efficiently.

In this episode of **SALTY PODCAST #95**, I talk with Atticus from @BoyMeetsOcean on Instagram — a 12-year-old boy living aboard SV Liquid Sunshine with his family as they prepare to sail around the world! Atticus and his family have been living on their sailboat for almost two years, traveling through the Caribbean and Bahamas on their 2016 Lagoon 450. We talk about what it is really like to grow up on a boat, leave normal land life behind, homeschool from the water, meet other boat kids, and learn real sailing skills along the way. Atticus helps with night watches, reads weather, drives the dinghy, edits his own videos, dives, cooks, helps with maintenance, and has already been part of some serious boat-saving teamwork. He shares stories from Grenada, St. Martin, St. Croix, the Exumas, Highborn Cay, Pig Beach, and more. We also talk about his fast-growing social media channel @BoyMeetsOcean, how he went from a couple hundred followers to thousands by posting every day, and what it feels like to be a kid creating sailing content while actually living the adventure. This was such a fun conversation with a young sailor who is smart, capable, funny, and already living a life most adults only dream about.
