we actually call it our 'baby' as it makes noise when something is wrong (and pretty much every other time too), you can never leave it for longer than 15 minutes when sailing, and it requires a lot of our attention, money (unfortunately), love and affection. The Galley smelt like pasta for weeks after that. I've been burnt by the gamble stove endless times, had boiling pots of water fly onto me and pasta sauce fling over my head and smash on the adjacent side of the room. What are some of the challenges of living on a boat? Days become shorter and shorter the longer you are out at sea too, and BAM, before you know it you're in a new exciting country just waiting to be explored! With an endless list of books to read, Podcasts to listen to and new recipes to try when you're also heeled over is always good fun and essential. But it really is more of a mental challenge than anything and usually those long sails end up being my favourite trips of the lot! Finding new things to keep you busy out there is key and if you don't, personally I think you'd go a little crazy. The idea of being out at sea for weeks on end scares a lot of people. Tell us what it’s like to live on a boat for weeks on end. Attack the day’s list of never-ending jobs and adventures!.Make a smoothie for Riley and I, wake up Riley and give him the smoothie.Yoga on deck, or a swim depending on the weather.I seriously don't know how anyone wears those things) and I can't wear an eye mask because it hurts my eye lashes. Wake up with the first rays of sunlight (we have no curtains on the boat.What does your morning routine look like? It's a big call, but it's actually neaaaaarly the perfect sailing destination. A bunch of beautiful little islands only an hour’s sail apart, with locals as nice as pie living in cute colourful buildings, lobster EVERYWHERE, it's cheap as chips and there are very protected anchorages which most of the time you have to yourself. and that place is Los Roques - Venezuela. But there is one place in particular that I could spend at least a few years anchored.
In 5-10m of clear water, with a nice sandy bottom so you know she's dug with not too many other boats around, just about anywhere. We could also sail through the Suez Canal and take on the pirates but at this stage that’s way too adventurous for me. There's no better feeling than making it to your own deserted island, kayaking to shore, hiking around the island or up a mountain and hanging up the hammock to read my book. This could be either by sail or on foot (preferably both). The idea of an adventure for me, is setting off to a place not many other people would go, or can get to. There is so much space to think out there, with no real distractions and I can just be present!
is when the sailing conditions are just perfect and it's just Riley, me and the sea. When we are sailing in rough weather, I am only ever thinking about adjusting the sails and finding new ways of working with the weather to make our situation run smoother. Having that ultimate sense of freedom each time I leave sight of land, brings me a feeling of pure joy like nothing else does.
