⛵ After 17,000 Miles, It’s Time for Big Changes | Sailing Life in Samoa 🌴 [Ep194]
For the past five years, you’ve watched us fall in love with our floating home — a Leopard 47 catamaran that’s carried us safely over 17,000 miles from the Caribbean to the South Pacific. She’s battled storms, breakdowns, and years of wear… and now it’s time we face the reality of what comes next.
In this episode, we share the truth about boat life after crossing oceans: the repairs, the toll it takes, and our plans for the future. But sailing has never been just about boat work — so we head ashore in Samoa to explore the unmissable places this island has to offer. From hidden waterfalls to volcanic landscapes, this is adventure both on and off the water. 🌊
Whether you’re here for bluewater sailing, boat refits, or remote island travel, this episode dives deep into the highs and lows of life afloat.
