Selling Our Sailboat & Home on the Way to the Mediterranean – What Are We Thinking?!

In this video, we leave Denmark and sail into Germany, ready to enter the Kiel Canal. But then we make a rather drastic decision – to sell our sailboat, Lady Four, and everything changes. 💔 Now we’re standing in Germany without a boat, without a home, and without a place to put all our stuff. So we rent a car, find a storage unit, and try to figure things out from there. Are we crazy? 😅 Maybe! ⛵️ Is this the end of our sailing journey? NO! We're planning to buy a bigger boat, something that makes full-time liveaboard life a bit easier and more suited to our long-term adventure. We already have one potential new boat on our radar… but whether we buy it or not, you’ll have to wait and see in the next video.
