SailAway 62 | Buying a LIVEABOARD SAILBOAT! The Final Research Boats | Sailboat Living Sailing Vlog
MORE LIVEABOARD SAILBOATS! We CLOSE IN on our QUARRY!
This week concludes the “research” portion of our search for a liveaboard sailboat to sail around the world! We’ve looked at a ton of boats to try and narrow down what might work for us. After this week’s episode…we think we have it. 🙂 Next week, see the Miami Boat Show (tons of boats we’ll never own) and our adventure to actually go into contract on a liveaboard sailboat. Which does NOT goes as planned. Enjoy!! And be sure to SUBSCRIBE for WEEKLY CONTENT EVERY FRIDAY! Cheers!!

SailAway World Sailing
ESCAPE NORMAL. Frustrated with the confines of "normal life"? Wish you could ESCAPE and really EXPERIENCE the WORLD? Our small family DID JUST THAT! WE SOLD EVERYTHING and moved aboard a 46' SAILBOAT to TRAVEL THE WORLD! There was no big lump of cash, just a modest boat loan and the HOPE that we could continue to work aboard our FLOATING TINY HOME while on the move. We are Loren, Eric, 4-year-old Rivers Danger, and trusty boat dog Zeke, and we are the globe-trotting crew of SV Cecilia. Let us bring you along EVERY FRIDAY as we SAIL THE OCEANS to the Bahamas, the Caribbean, Central America and beyond. It's our mission to embrace the cruising lifestyle in the pursuit of FUN, CULTURE, and BOLD LIFE EXPERIENCES...all while keeping things afloat, literally AND figuratively...AND to bring YOU along for the ride with vivid, honest, beautiful, and educational videos of the highest caliber possible. SUBSCRIBE NOW and RING THE BELL so you don't miss a single episode. Cheers and WELCOME ABOARD!

Steering Cable FAILURE at the WORST TIME | SailAway 301
