Your Sailing Liveaboard Lifestyle Questions answered - Q & A with Dreamtime Sail Part 1 – S 2 Ep 4

After a number of comments on our Dreamtime Sail social media, we invited people to send us the questions they would like answered about our sailing, live aboard lifestyle, boat and any other aspect of cruising. In this Part One video we begin answering those questions about our sailing history, land base situation, sea sickness, crewing on other people’s boats, challenges of living aboard, night passages, what rig we use to catch all our fish, why we bought a ketch, how our in-boom furling mainsail works, using our stay sail, solar power, what we’re always fixing onboard and if we would recommend buying a boat in the Mediterranean like we did. We hope you’ll find our Q & A interesting. If you have any other questions for us please pop them into the comments below and we’ll do our best to answer them We love producing our videos to share with you. However the cost of camera and audio equipment, Epidemic Music, Adobe Creative Suite subscriptions and high data usage involved does eat into our sailing funds. If you would like to support our video productions you can do it for less than price of a coffee per episode. All of the funds help us continue producing our videos.
