Boat tour of my Saltram 36 Saga while blowing 26 knots of wind outside

Fri, 12 Jun 2026 10:28:14 +0000

People always ask me what it’s like living on a sailboat.

So here’s a tour of my home...

While it’s blowing 26 knots outside 😅

A lot of people imagine life at sea as endless sunsets and dolphins. And yes, there is some of that.

But there’s also a tiny kitchen where I somehow manage to cook, a navigation station that occasionally doubles as an office, a bunk that becomes the best bed in the world after a long watch, and a saloon where I spend way too much time sitting when the weather gets rough.

It’s not a big house.

It’s not a fancy house.

But it has taken me across an ocean, kept me safe through storms, and somehow carries everything I need to live, work, and chase a dream.

Not bad for a 36-foot floating home 🌊

⚓ Life on the Showgirl is my journey toward one of the toughest solo sailing races on the planet: the Golden Globe Race — sailed solo, non-stop, and without modern technology. Follow along as I learn, prepare, and chase a dream that feels bigger than me.
