Is isolation easier on a sailboat? - Real-time Sailing Update Ep195

We have been hearing stories from cruisers in far-flung places about how they are coping with living in isolation. So is isolation easier on a sailboat? In theory we should be well equipped and experienced enough to get through the measures currently in force around the world. But is it really better to be on a boat right now?

We compare being in isolation on a sailboat with the obstacles faced by landlubbers. Jamie and Behan of @sailingtotem joined us to mull over our peculiar situations and we soon realised that living on a sailboat brings its own set of challenges. Some are finding it more difficult than others.

As always, thanks for watching our videos, every view helps get us noticed and our work shown to a wider audience. If you haven't already SUBSCRIBED please click the icon and tap the notification bell so you'll always see our new videos in your feed.
