Explaining our lifestyle to sailing noobs (living space, costs, mail, healthcare, cons, etc...)
5 years ago, when Ryan and I were absolute sailing noobs, this is the video that I would have wanted to watch :)
How is it REALLY like to live on a sailboat? How do you eat? Sleep? Shower? Poop? (Seriously, the boat shower was a mystery to me). More seriously, how does it work having no postal address and how do you deal with healthcare? And are we really as free to go where we want as one may think?
Since we get this question literally every single time we meet someone new who’s never been on a boat before, I thought it would be a fun idea to make a video that covers the basics :)
