As I prepare to head to the Annapolis Sailboat show, I am finally talking a bit about what it’s been like living with a cat on my boat! For the most part, it hasn’t been a problem! Just a little bit of extra paperwork here and there… but now that I’m in the South Pacific, things are going to get a bit more challenging.

I will be taking a small break after this video is posted! See you again in 2 weeks💗

Give a little extra support 💞 The circumnavigation has JUST begun… all of your help goes towards more gear to make the videos a bit better and the boat safer and more functional for myself as a single hand (and maybe an extra treat for Mako)

Lauren Landers

I am just a girl who followed her dream of buying a sailboat to sail the world! I took the advice my dad gave me "Do what you love and you will never work a day in your life” and try to live this to the fullest every single day. I graduated college during Covid-19 with a marine biology degree and 100T Captain license. I had worked as a captain throughout college on power boats and was invited to sail with some friends in the Bahamas for a couple months. I fell in love with sailing and this lifestyle more than I thought I could; bought my boat a year later (Dec 2021) intending to charter, but decided to start sharing this beautiful life with you❤️
