SCOTTISH COUPLE sell it all to SAIL the WORLD! [Ep115 RED SEAS]
We were the guests of honour at the Royal Northern and Clyde Yacht Club in Glasgow, Scotland, to share our story of how we sold everything we owned and bought a sailboat to live on. We have spent the last three years sailing around the Caribbean islands, through Central America and have now sailed across the Pacific Ocean to French Polynesia.
It hasn't all been easy - we've run aground, been blackmailed and faced bigger storms that we ever hoped to see, but it's all been worth it. We've learned to do our own fibreglass repairs, built our own solar rig, rescued our boat from charter into a true bluewater cruiser and we've laughed at ourselves the whole way along!
This is part 1 from the event at the RNCYC but you can catch part 2 right here: https://youtu.be/PPSbR4f0U4I

BOAT UPGRADE everyone will LOVE!
We are making brand new cockpit cushions to transform this area on our boat into something that is far more comfortable and practical...and it's been a long time coming after 6 years living onboard! We just spent all our money on a refit earlier this year so we've had to come up with some ...
Our BOAT just got BIGGER!
We are sailing on a tight budget after our huge refit earlier this year and so when it came to transforming the cockpit of our Leopard catamaran, we had to get a little creative. I wanted to replace all our cushions and Iain wanted to transform our table, but we don't have the thousands of doll...
HUGE MILESTONE! (I’ve been waiting for this day!)
Some days are special - and this is one we will remember for a long time! We are celebrating reaching such an important milestone in my health journey, as I get back to who I was before my relapse earlier this year.

LIFE CHANGING: sailing final 100 miles!
We've been sailing full-time on our Leopard catamaran for more than 6 years but to us, this lifestyle has always been about more than just sunsets and rainbows.
