Chained down in Rochella! Stuck in the marina. #liveaboard #sailingvessel #sailboat #travel PT1

Hi guys. We’re chained down in Rochella… literally. What started as a simple delivery from China turned into a three–week saga across borders, train lines, and broken promises. Our new anchor chain has travelled through Kazakhstan, Russia, Belarus, and half of Europe — but somehow not the last 100 kilometres to our marina. Each day costs us €58, the weather window to leave is closing, and FedEx keeps changing the story — “Arrived in Belarus,” “Customs cleared,” “Delivery updated,” … but no chain in sight. In this episode, we take you through the real behind-the-scenes frustration of full-time cruising life — when you’re ready to set sail, but stuck waiting on global logistics and a tracking number that never changes. Will the chain arrive before we have to go? Or will we be forced to leave without it? Watch to the end — because even we didn’t see the ending coming. ⛵ Follow our sailing life: 👉 Subscribe for weekly episodes of life aboard and lessons learned the hard way. 👉 Comment below — what’s the longest you’ve ever waited for a delivery while cruising?
