Ep 52 | Sometimes PROGRESS looks like this…
Sometimes it feels like we spend all day on the boat and don’t achieve very much — or at least not in the way it looks from the outside. But this is the reality of boat life. Progress isn’t always big milestones; it’s the small jobs, the clearing out, the quiet chats, and the time spent figuring things out together.
We could cut all of that out, but then it wouldn’t really be us. These are the moments that show our relationship with each other as much as with the boat, and they’re a huge part of the journey.
And don’t worry… one day we will finally do that boat tour.
Enjoy!

Sailing Rum Punch
Welcome to Sailing Rum Punch. We are Ben and Ellie, both from the UK, and together we have bought a 1972 Contest 38 sailing boat with big plans to build our dream floating home and navigate the world with her alongside. Though newbies to renovating a boat, we are sharing our DIY refit from the very beginning amongst the crazy chaotic on-the-go lifestyle we lead and with the intention of living a minimalistic and adventurous lifestyle. Join us on our journey as we figure out how to turn our 50 year old boat into our dream floating home.
