A Snowstorm Hit our Sailboat! // Realities of Cold Winter Boat Life

Huge snow fall, freezing temperatures, frozen pipes… some days on the boat are tough.

In general, we both love the snow and have woken up to many cold mornings on the boat. But for some reason, this cold snap was extra hard on us. It is important for us that we share both the ups and downs of this lifestyle, and in this video we go through the struggles of winter boat life. But, after some fun in the snow and a fire to warm us up, we once again are reminded of how much we love this lifestyle!

If you are new to the channel, Blue Moon is a 1978 Catalina 30 sailing vessel which we acquired in 2020. One year later we decided it was time for a road trip and built out a 1998 Delica to drive across the country. Now we live aboard the boat full-time, take weekend trips in the van, and explore this beautiful world.

Thanks for watching!
