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.
