We bought an old boat in Brazil and then discovered it wasn't what we had expected! What would you do if you discovered your boat had holes in it?? There is so much more to come so remember to subscribe to Lahakai! ➡️ WEEKLY VIDEOS EVERY SUNDAY AT 10AM WHO ARE WE? We are Luke, Lori and Leon :) We love the idea of freedom of the open sea, endless horizons, and your home whenever you wish to be. We also want to feel we are impacting the world in a positive way. So we are building the Lahakai – a 34' steel, environmentally friendly, sailboat that we will sail around the world! Or at least that is the goal and you can see our progress along the way. The dream is to do our small part and perhaps inspire others to do the same. A chance to participate in change instead of just talking about it.

Is New York City from the water reserved for ultra rich 1% types like billionaires? NOPE! Reason 59/104 for why a couple teachers from Missouri are leaving everything to take on America’s Great Loop and Beyond aboard their DIY solar electric boat. #solar #electricboat #greatloop #newyork #onelife
