Trapped Aboard | Rough Start to Liveaboard Life
We move onto our sailboat! ...Then immediately get [alpha] covid which lands us in 10 days of immediate & mandatory quarantine stuck inside our boat. At the time, contact tracing was in full swing and we could've been criminally liable for leaving our boat, so we were quite trapped. How it went down: when we moved out of our apartment and onto the boat, Zaq was feeling a little drained. We didn't think too much of it until after moving when he started to feel worse. So he booked a test and they scheduled him for one the next day - which is the first day of our video (also Lisa's first day of symptoms). We weren't really prepared to quarantine. We had some frozen and dry/canned food from the move but hadn't gotten fresh groceries yet. Good thing we didn't run out of propane, because who likes to eat dry rice and oatmeal!? and you can't get delivery (or your mail) when you can't get off your boat. Lisa was trapped with no wifi and a cell phone plan that didn't support her full-time virtual classes while Zaq missed a week of work. But we laid low and carried out our quarantine, and were very happy to step out into a fresh, rainy-grey spring morning once it was all over.
