Today we left the south coast of Grenada and sailed north to a deserted island called Ronde Island. Aside from some goats and one other sailboat, we're the only people here. I like the variety that sailing offers. The last few nights have been busy, social, and engaging at Le Phare Bleu, a lovely boutique marina on the south. It will be quiet, peaceful, and relaxing tonight at Ronde Island. It's our new guests' first full day out on Britican! We'll have to celebrate that ;) #sailingexperience #sailinglifestyle #learntosail #short
I had a front row seat to our bus driver´s aggressive driving and passing. Watch this multiple-truck pass. He goes for 4 trucks, but only makes it past 3 trucks before he has to suddenly cut back into the convoy. Yes, this is a two lane road, one lane in each direction. Don´t be confused by the dotted WHITE line - that´s Latin America.
After living on a sailboat for 7 years and meeting hundreds of liveaboards along the way, we are confident to have the answer: Most people think sailors quit living aboard because of storms, long passages, or rough seas. That’s rarely the reason. What actually wears people down are the small things, every single day. The constant decision-making. The boat jobs that never really end. Plans changed by weather. The mental load of always adapting. Boatlife doesn’t fail because it’s too hard. It fails when it’s treated like an escape instead of a life that needs structure, recovery, and honesty. Living aboard is sustainable when you allow yourself to slow down, stay longer, dislike it sometimes, and rest when you need to. We wrote a long reflection about what really makes boatlife last, and why stepping back can be part of staying. The full blog post is on our website (link in bio) if you want an honest review of Boatlife. Stay Salty, Greta and Michael video kindy made by wineglasses from location: Zambezi in NYC
