Shockingly Close - Sailing Family takes Aluminium Catamaran Close to Power Lines (Ep. 33)

Shockingly Close - We are taking our floating home up the narrows of the gold coast and find ourselves where the power lines are 1 meter lower than our mast. We have purchased a boat, an Aluminium Crowther Catamaran, and moved onboard last month. We are now living aboard our tiny home sailboat, as full time liveaboards and we are about to depart for the first time and sail our new boat, SV Shining Light, on her first expedition up the Queensland Coast of Australia. There are a few bumps along the way as we are getting used to alternative living on our new boat, learn what offgrid living boatlife is all about! Come join us on our life on a yacht as we take SV Shining Light, this Sailing Family's new floating home, on her first journey up the narrows of the Gold Coast.
