We Bought a BOATLOAD of Problems.. Realities of Boat Life | A&J Sailing Ep.2

What do you expect when you purchase a 43 year old sailboat?!⛵A boat in our price range wasn't going to be exactly cruising ready. But we knew that underneath all the green & grime was a sturdy solid boat. The keel and hull were structurally sound. The rigging was fine. And she had a sort-of-new engine. We were expecting this to be another BIG project. But once we dug in, we began to discover a BOATLOAD of problems we weren't expecting.. Join us this week as we uncover exactly what we bargained for!

WHO WE ARE We are a couple from opposite sides of the world living an adventure based-alternative lifestyle here in the Pacific Northwest. Our time is spent split between land & sea - living part time in our tiny home on wheels (a vintage Airstream that we converted completely ourselves) as well as living aboard our tiny home with sails ( a Catalina 30 that we've been restoring while teaching ourselves how to sail!).

A decade working in healthcare has helped us both to appreciate the preciousness of this one beautiful life we've been given. Viewing TIME as our most valuable gift, we've been feeling an urgency in our lives to Live All Out! We decided to make some BOLD moves, hit PAUSE on our conventional careers & work full time, turning our DREAMS into reality. The past 12 months we have been working towards making full-time adventure possible. The first step was downsizing and minimizing our lives to fit into a 160ft. Airstream trailer which we converted completely ourselves without any experience. Living full time in our tiny home on wheels created the financial freedom we needed to take the next big step, buying our sailboat! She's another big project, but we're ready for another challenge. And we're pretty motivated by all the amazing ocean adventures that lie ahead! Subscribe to follow along on our journey! Much love, ​A & J Connect with us!
