WEATHERING a 45kts WINTER STORM: Living on a SAILBOAT I EP. 63

Thanks so much for watching our 63rd episode! In this episode we show you what it’s like living onboard a sailboat during the winter months in Cornwall, UK. We explore this beautiful place and take you on a journey to a rainforest tucked away in the Eden Project! We then head to Surfing capital of the UK; Newquay, to meet up with some old friends for the weekend. Whilst we have been living in one of the most beautiful places in the UK, Falmouth Cornwall, it still comes with its challenges when living aboard a sailboat during the winter months. We encounter a 45kts storm, through our marina and have to batten down the hatches and the solar panels!! Once the storm blew over, we had to navigate an icy deck and pontoon, readying the boat to get lifted out over the winter. This involved taking our headsail down for the first time! Indiana was due a sailboat MOT, with new seacocks, stern gland and a whole lot more! We’ll cover the refurb in our next episode. Could you live on a sailboat during the winter? Let us know in the comments. We hope you enjoy this one. L & C x CHAPTERS: 00:00 - INTRO 01:11 - Exploring Cornwall 03:58 - Weathering The Storm – 45kts 06:26 - Head Sail Down 08:32 - Time on the hard
