While on my cruise to the Canadian Maritimes, I have had to singlehand my boat Soulmates while waiting for friends to join me as crew changes have not been seamless. This video and article talk about how I felt tested by the wind gods in my ability to singlehand my boat.

How a 2-DAY HAUL OUT Turned Into 6 WEEKS ON THE HARD We planned to haul our sailing catamaran Wanderlust for 2 days just to clean the bottom and check the prop but that turned into 6 weeks on the hard! A big crack in the longeron had formed which needed to be repaired, then the famous might as well’s began. But winter had set in and we needed to sail to Australia as soon as possible.

The BRUTAL Truth About Living on a Sailboat Full-Time ⛵ Everyone dreams of sailing into the sunset, but nobody talks about the toilet clogging at 2 AM or your fridge being smaller than a shoebox. I'm planning to live full-time on a sailboat, and here's what no one tells you until it's too late. THE DREAM vs. THE REALITY We all got into sailing for the same reasons - freedom, exploration, Monday morning swims instead of commutes, kiteboarding in paradise, and living in places that would normally cost thousands to visit. And yes, some of that is absolutely true. But there's a lot that gets in the way of that Instagram-perfect sailing life. What I cover in this brutal reality check: 🏠 Tiny living spaces - Your entire world becomes smaller than most bedrooms 🔧 Everything breaks constantly - Toilets, tables, sails, hull... EVERYTHING 🌩️ Weather controls your life - 95% of the time you're avoiding storms, not chasing sunsets 💪 Physical exhaustion - Hoisting sails, anchors, and balancing on a moving platform 24/7 🐟 Hunting your own food - Spear fishing beats grocery stores, but you're doing the work 📡 Internet nightmare - Even Starlink fails when you need it most 💸 Costs spiral out of control - Repairs, haul-outs, marina fees, gear, insurance... it adds up FAST 🧠 Mental challenges - Ocean crossings can take 50+ days of isolation THE HARD TRUTH ABOUT MONEY: Even if you budget perfectly, you'll spend way more than planned. I break down the real costs that sailing YouTubers don't want to talk about - because the reality is much more expensive than the dream. SO WHY DO IT ANYWAY? Because despite all the challenges, breakdowns, and exhaustion, it's still worth it for the freedom. Monday morning swims instead of office commutes. Fixing something meaningful instead of pushing paperwork. The exploration, the experience, the lifestyle that's completely different from anything on land. It's not perfect, but it's real. And that's exactly why this dream is worth chasing. What you'll learn: ✅ The real daily challenges of liveaboard life ✅ Why everything costs more than you think ✅ The physical and mental demands nobody mentions ✅ How weather actually controls your entire existence ✅ Why I'm still pursuing this lifestyle despite the challenges ✅ The mindset you need to handle ocean living My Journey: I'm documenting my entire path from no money, no sailing experience, and no boat to living full-time on the ocean. This isn't about selling you a fantasy - it's about showing you the complete picture so you can make an informed decision about whether this lifestyle is really for you. If you're considering a life at sea, this video will either scare you away (which might be a good thing) or prepare you for what's actually in store. Either way, you'll know what you're getting into. Chapters: 0:00 The Harsh Reality Hook 0:23 Why We Dream of Sailing 0:52 The Real Challenges Begin 1:04 Tiny Living Nightmare 1:18 Everything Breaks (Seriously, Everything) 1:35 Weather Rules Your Life 1:46 Physical Exhaustion Reality 2:01 Food = Work 2:06 Internet Struggles 2:31 The Money Drain 2:51 Mental Health Challenges 3:17 So Why Do It Anyway? 3:26 The Freedom Factor 3:50 It's Worth It 3:58 Subscribe for the Journey #SailingReality #LiveaboardLife #SailingTruth #BoatLife #SailingChallenges #OceanLiving #SailingDream #BoatLiving #SailingLifestyle #MarineLife #SailingJourney #FullTimeSailing #SailingVlog #BoatLifeReality #SailingCommunity This is the reality check I wish someone had given me before I started planning my sailing life. It's not meant to discourage you - it's meant to prepare you. Because when you know what's coming, you can actually succeed at this incredible lifestyle. Everyone dreams of sailing into the sunset, but nobody talks about the toilet clogging at 2 a.m. This video shares the honest truth about the reality of the sailing lifestyle. I'm planning to live full-time on a sailboat, and I want to share what no one tells you until it's too late, including challenges with the mini fridge and being caught on camera during storms.

From learning to fish on an 18-hour passage to backflips in remote anchorages, exploring centuries-old island forts, and facing 50-knot winds at anchor, this episode captures a real week on our liveaboard catamaran pretty well! If you have any suggestions to help improve our fishing skills, we’d love to hear them in the comments! After surviving a stormy arrival into France in our last episode, we continue our journey east along the Mediterranean coast, joined by Ruth’s brother Jack. With calm seas and steady wind, we set off on an 18-hour passage towards Marseille, hoping to dodge yet another weather system. With calm seas and steady wind, we got our fishing rods out and fished off the back of Runa for the first time, with high hopes of catching our dinner... We eventually anchored just off Marseille in the stunning Frioul Islands, one of the most beautiful spots we’ve stayed yet. But paradise didn’t last long… the weather caught up with us, and we had to prepare Rúna for nearly 50 knots of wind that was sweeping across the whole of the French coastline. Hey! We’re Ruth and Andrew 👋🏼 Earlier this year, after years of dreaming, we left our family, friends and lives in Edinburgh, Scotland, behind as we set off to chase our shared dream of sailing the world. In April, we bought our 11m catamaran, Rúna, which we now call home as we live, work, sail and adventure full-time. Join us as we explore the Mediterranean and get to grips with life at sea 🏝️ Episode 13, Chapter One. 00:00 - 0:26 Recap 0:27 - 1:30 Warranty catch-up 1:31 - 3:51 Beginning our passage 3:52 - 8:55 Fishing and sailing 8:59 - 9:35 Sun Rise and Day two 9:36 - 11:38 Sailing in 30kts 11:39 - 14:06 Drone footage and Frioul Island 14:06 - 14:35 Diving for Mussels 14:35 - 16:04 56mph wind on anchor 16:04 - 16:31 Round up #fishing #sailingmediterranean #sailingcouple #liveaboardlife #catamaranlife #excess11 #storm #yachtlife #sailingpassage #StormAtSea #mediterraneansailing #SailingFrance #sailingcouple #sailingfrance #boatlife #liveaboardcatamaran #sailingcouple Find daily content on our socials: 📸 Instagram: http://instagram.com/lifestylegibbon 📸 Instagram: https://instagram.com/therunalife 🎥 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@therunalife 🎬 Huge thanks to @SAILTAHITI for sharing promo footage for our intro!

🛠️ Aujourd’hui, je me lance dans la fabrication du meuble de cuisine de mon voilier ! C’est la suite de la rénovation commencée dans les 2 vidéos précédentes (il vaut mieux les avoir vues avant 😉 : on commence la rénovation de la cuisine et je repeins la cuisine). 🔨 Je ne suis pas menuisière hein, alors je fais comme je peux, avec les moyens du bord ! Bon, pas à bord justement 😅, mais dans ma maison, c’est plus pratique pour bricoler. Je suis allée faire quelques emplettes à Weldom pour réunir le nécessaire. 💪 Une fois peint, les petits défauts seront bien cachés, j’en suis sûre ! 😄 📺 Pour voir mes autres vidéos de rénovation, c’est par ici : 👉 https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoqFuh2SKR9VNMaUm-yzDWpmgd4FCKP7W&si=gzEwDOwHmcONbFE6 🎁 Envie de me filer un coup de pouce ?
