Episode 27: A Close Shave For Our Sailboat

We are working through our list of boat jobs and next on the list is painting in the boat saloon and cleaning the bilges. Sometimes the never-ending list of boat jobs can feel overwhelming but for us it just keeps bringing us closer to living on board, sailing on our Beneteau Oceanis 430 and living our boat life dream.

We are Gav and Shezz an Aussie couple with a dream to sail and scuba dive around the world. We bought our Beneteau Oceanis 430 in October 2023 with zero sailing experience but the belief that we can do this. We have filmed our journey from looking for boats, buying the boat, downsizing so we can liveaboard and all the messy wonderful life stuff in between. Join us now as we start to get our boat prepared for liveaboard life. As new sailors we want to share all of our learnings and keep it real in our videos. We want to show step by step what it takes to choose a boat, buy the boat and learn how to sail. Our sailing learning curve is steep so come along with us as we learn and grow as liveaboard sailors. We promise you will have a laugh! Welcome aboard Astrid The Wombat Gav and Shezz You can also find us on Instagram and Facebook: Sailing Astrid the Wombat
