Stuck on the Dock
Stuck on the Dock after finding a flood in the starboard engine bay, I jump straight into damage control with a new bilge pump install, a fresh depth gauge, and finally getting the lithium battery setup fitted. It’s one of those proper boat life days where nothing goes to plan, but the repairs have to get done before we can get moving again.
Meanwhile, Sharon takes you ashore for a look around the local town and gives her honest, no-filter review of what it’s really like living on board full time. If you’re into sailing, liveaboard life, catamaran maintenance, marine electrical upgrades, boat repairs, bilge pump installs, lithium battery systems, and real cruising life, this one’s for you.
In this episode:
• Flood in the starboard engine bay
• New bilge pump installation
• New depth gauge fitted
• Lithium battery installation
• Local town walkabout
• Honest liveaboard review
Whether you’re into boat maintenance, sailing the Med, catamaran ownership, or the realities of living on a boat, this episode has a bit of everything: repairs, upgrades, and real-life cruising content.

Sailing Clewless Crew
Midlife sailing adventure | Retired couple living on a catamaran | Full-time liveaboard sailing We’re John & Sha, a retired couple in our mid-50s preparing to move aboard our catamaran this April. After retiring from full-time careers, we’re transitioning to full-time liveaboard sailing and documenting the entire journey. Right now, we’re sailing the Ionian in Greece. Stunning anchorages, pretty fishing villages and gusty winds are all on the agenda here. In the near future we will head off to Albania and Montenegro. From catamaran living and liveaboard life to sailing adventures, slow travel, and going where the wind takes us — this is our next chapter. If you’re interested in sailing in your 50s, retirement adventures, boat life preparation, or leaving the 9–5 for freedom and travel, subscribe and join us.
