Living on a sailboat
Living on a sailboat…. When we left Canada in the fall of 2019 we had basically no experience sailing except for a few weekends at the Hamilton Yacht club where we got our beginners certificate. We did our navigation course. and joined a small sailing club in Ottawa… Fast forward to February 2022…. We motored and sailed the boat from Canada to Puerto Rico via USA, Bahamas, Turks and Caicos and the Dominican Republic. It’s been quite the adventure and such a learning curve. So now to give you a little insider information; living on a sailboat full time. We do love living on the boat but it can be quite challenging at times. It’s not like in the TV commercial when the lottery winner comes up into the cockpit, holding a cup a coffee, still in jammies, hair all nicely done, with the husband behind the wheel after a night watch looking refreshed and all smiles. The reality of it is you probably didn’t sleep much, the wind was howling, the waves high, didn’t secure stuff properly...
