Ep. 154 ~ After an unforgettable FIRST season living aboard our sailing catamaran Oka in the Mediterranean, we dock in Preveza Marina, Greece to spend the winter doing boat jobs and upgrades. In this episode, we share what it’s like to live aboard a sailboat full-time, fly back to the USA to visit family, and do some major shopping for boat parts.
With our catamaran safely moored in Greece, we fly to the USA to visit family and friends in Bluffton, South Carolina, Natchez, Mississippi, and Cleveland, Ohio. While stateside, we go on a serious boat parts shopping mission—hunting down everything we’ll need for some big refit projects. That includes a custom solar arch, bifacial solar panels, and a full lithium battery system for improved energy independence at sea.
Whether you're dreaming of retiring aboard a sailboat, sailing around the world, or looking for ideas and inspiration for your own sailboat maintenance and refit projects, this episode is packed with real-life insight into the cruising lifestyle, Med sailing, and what it takes to keep a catamaran ready for long-term travel.
