Why we HATE MOORINGS | Sailing Florence – Ep.151
Sailing through the Caribbean to the beautiful islands of Les Saints. After thousands of miles of Ocean Sailing, we are enjoying the change of pace in the Caribbean. Shorter distances between countries means we have more time to explore this sailing mecca, where the living is easy. Oh and why we hate moorings!
We have been sailing around the world for 6 and a half years after setting off from England in 2016 on board our 37ft sail boat Florence. Join us as we share the highs, lows, and challenges of travelling around the world by boat, Sailing offshore across the Oceans and exploring remote locations with our own little tiny house. Boat life out at sea on the ocean and off the grid.
