Was it a mistake to leave behind our land life? We don’t think so! For the past 18 months, we've been living full-time on our 42-ft sailboat, embracing an off-grid, slow travel lifestyle. We've met hundreds of incredible people around the world who’ve chosen a similar alternate path—and we’re here to share what it's really like. Through The Reeva Project, we’re documenting our sailing journey as an Indian family at sea—hoping to inspire more Indians to consider life beyond the land. 🌊 Subscribe to follow our adventures: Indian family sailing , ocean living, and the ups and downs of this wild, beautiful lifestyle. #sailinglife #indianfamily #liveaboard #offgridliving #lifeatsea #slowtravel #sailingindia #thereevaproject #worldschooling #sailingadventures

The Princess Y72 Chaos lives up to its provocative name, creating significant waves among competitors in the 65 to 75-foot segment. Standing before this award-winning vessel at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, the initial impression is one of serious design intent. We are examining a $4.8 million statement piece that demands attention. Step inside with Natalie Reynolds from Borden Yachts as we explore the engineering choices—specifically the extensive glass sliding doors that dissolve the barrier between interior and exterior, maximizing airflow and creating a single, expansive main deck experience. This is where refined luxury meets calculated market disruption. #PrincessY72 #Chaos #YachtTour #LuxuryYacht #BoatShow #PrincessYachts #BordenYachts #YachtingLifestyle #Marine

Would you change seacock valve 65cm below the water line whilst afloat?! It might not be as scary as you think. This valve body seized up (despite only being 3-4 years old) so I unscrewed it, popped in a wooden bung, bought a new one and screwed it on. The trick is to be prepared. I had all my wooden bungs on hand, covered any electrical equipment and was ready for the worst case scenario. Fortunately, because it was a fairly new fitting, it came undone relatively easily and the job was pretty straight forward 😊💦 And what’s the worst case scenario I was prepared for? The worst case scenario is the thru hull fitting itself breaking off when I attempt to unscrew the valve. What would I do about it? Just tap in one of my many wooden bungs and then arrange to get the boat lifted out! That scenario was quite unlikely but it helps to think through what could happen. What also helped me is that, from previous experimentation on another boat, we have pumps that I know could easily outrun the water coming in through that hole. An uncontrolled inflow through that fitting wouldn’t be good as it would spray seawater everywhere but it’s good to know that the pumps could cope. It’s always counter intuitive and panic inducing to see water flooding in to the boat and I know many people don’t like to pull out their paddle wheel log transducers for that very reason however staying calm and knowing that it would actually take quite a long time to sink through a 3/4” hole means it may not be as bad as you think. Always worth thinking what else could help. Whilst away, shopping for parts, I left Kate armed with cushions as well as wooden bungs as a cushion pushed hard over a hole will slow the flow enough that most bilge pumps would cope. Despite my previous experiments I was even surprised how little water we took on but the point is that, with a little thought and prep, changing a valve or pulling that paddle wheel so it doesn’t foul up needn’t be that stressful or require an expensive lift out. Luckily for me everything went super smoothly this time so no need for backup plans! It does get the heart pumping a bit when you haven’t done it for a while though! 😊💦 #followintrepidbear #sailinglife #sailing #sailor #liveaboard #sailboat #boatlife
