7 Things You Only Learn Living Aboard (Ep.51) | Sailing ARGO

You can research liveaboard life endlessly – but some lessons only show up once you’re living it. In this video, we share 7 things you only learn living aboard – the hard, the unexpected, and the genuinely life-changing. After moving aboard full-time, we quickly realised that boat life isn’t just about sailing and sunsets. It’s about systems, mindset, weather awareness, constant problem-solving, and learning how to live well in a very small, very dynamic space. In this episode, we cover: – Why less really is more when you live aboard – The small upgrades that became absolute game-changers – How organisation can make or break daily life on a boat – What the ocean teaches you about weather, patience, and control – The mental load of safety, power management, and constant alertness – The parts of liveaboard life that are quietly exhausting – And why, despite everything, it’s worth every single minute It hasn’t all been easy – there were moments that were uncomfortable, confronting, and at times genuinely terrifying. But the growth, confidence, and sense of achievement that come from living this way have been extraordinary. We’re heading out again next season with a different style of trip, a bigger focus on provisioning and self-reliance, and a few more lessons under our belt. This video captures the foundation that got us there. Thanks for watching.
