Joel & Shakima – Bums On A Boat Episode
In this episode, we join Joel and his sailboat Shakima for an honest discussion about their current situation and the future of their sailing adventure. As they prepare for a potential Atlantic Crossing to Dubai, the crew faces some hard truths and big decisions.
Big Decisions For The Future Of Bums On A Boat
The crew discusses the state of their sailboat, Shakima, recognizing that she needs upgrades and attention. Joel admits to having given everything he has to keep her going but acknowledges there is still a long list of things needed for safe cruising.
Potential Atlantic Crossing To Dubai
The big adventure on the horizon for Joel and Shakima is an epic 9,700-mile journey from Grenada to Dubai across the Atlantic Ocean. Joel plans to learn a lot from experienced Captain Tony during this delivery trip and improve his sailing skills tremendously.
Sailing Solo vs Taking A Delivery Job
While the crew of Bums on a Boat initially considered continuing their journey solo, Joel reflects on his previous short trip to Kuru and recognizes there are certain things he will need if sailing alone in the future.
Sponsors & The Cruising Kitty
Joel’s plan now is to save up money, find sponsors and make improvements to Shakima before taking on their next big voyage. He intends to rely on friends’ help in both Grenada and the United States while preparing for the journey.
Leaving Shakima Behind In Secret Harbor
After making preparations, Joel eventually decides to leave Shakima behind in Secret Harbor for a period while he undertakes his Atlantic Crossing journey with experienced Captain Tony. With friends and neighbours taking care of Shakima during her time onshore, the Bums on a Boat crew are confident in their decision.
Conclusion And What’s Next For Bums On A Boat
The episode ends with Joel vowing to give the Atlantic Crossing his all and thanking his supporters. With a focus on saving money, acquiring sponsors, and returning as better sailors, the future of ‘Bums on a Boat’ is looking brighter than ever.
I assess the situation and share the reality of boat life here on my sailboat, Chak Matay. Where we are at and what the future holds.

Bums on a Boat
Bums on a Boat is a story. It starts with reckless abandon, throwing all caution to the wind. Just bloody go for it and see what happens. It's not pretty but it sure is exciting. We wanted to live an alternative way of life, no more 9 to 5, no more playing by the rules. This is adventure, sailing with no previous experience, fixing a sailboat with no skills and sailing the world with little money. Living as if there really were no tomorrow. Feeling freedom in the mind and body. Look how we want, talk how we want and live how we want. Everything has a price. Love became a beautiful part of this story but it ended in heartbreak. Now only I (Joel) remain. These are the Tales of BOAB!
