Day 5 of our Christmas calendar takes us to the aft head—our little onboard bathroom that does it all! 🎄 Here’s how it works: 💧 Running water thanks to our water pump, so you can brush your teeth or take a shower just like at home. 🪥🚿 ⛵ Sit-down shower: A handy feature when the boat is moving, making it much easier (and safer) to shower under way. The biggest difference? The toilet! We use a manual pump toilet, which requires a bit of technique (and sometimes a quick tutorial for guests). 😊 Some boats have electric toilets, but we like the simplicity and reliability of our manual setup. It may be compact, but this space is fully equipped for life onboard! What’s your biggest question about boat bathrooms? Let us know in the comments! 💬 🎥 See you tomorrow as we continue our boat tour! 🎵 Music by Sergio Prosvirini from Pixabay #YouTubeShorts #Explore #TravelVlog #Vloggers #DailyLife #ChristmasCalendar #Vlogmas #ChristmasOnBoard #Beneteau44cc #Sailing #Liveaboard #LifeAtSea

The Lofoten islands are made for sailing: scattered islands and quiet anchorages where few people go. Imagine you dive into mirror-surfaced water in the middle of a remote bay from a modern adventure yacht. Ripples circle out towards the surrounding lush green landscape and mountains of the islands. These voyages take you into landscapes that change with every mile: open sea, narrow inlets, fishing villages and waterfalls that drop straight into the water. Sailing here feels wild but peaceful, a chance to slow down and see the beauty of this area of Norway from the sea. Island-hop your way through cinema-worthy landscapes with an experienced crew. Dive into the fresh water and embrace the Scandinavian sauna culture. Sailing in Lofoten will take you on a voyage of wild adventure and discovery. ⚓ Discover more in our Norway destination guide (link in bio) and claim your berth on one of our voyages exploring the Lofoten Islands in beautiful Norway. @Venturesailholidays

Reefing lines are important on a sailboat because they enable us to reef down the main sail (reduce sail area) when in strong winds. We had accidentally crossed two of our reefing lines when we rerouted them to make place for our new staysail halyard. This faux pas meant Adam couldn't reef our main sail when he needed. Although conditions were fine at the time, we're lucky he caught this now and we avoided a serious situation that could have occurred because of this mistake.
