LIVEABOARD REALITY: Anchorage Chaos, Hidden Rocks & Broken Toilets
*Please hit the subscribe button for all things sailing and adventure - it really helps us out and makes us happy! 😃 Thanks A&R ❤️*
What's it really like living on a sailboat? Join us for a real, unfiltered 48 hours aboard our 11m catamaran as we sail along the stunning coastline of Sardinia, anchor in crystal-clear bays, explore charming seaside towns, and navigate the everyday realities of life at sea.
Of course, boat life isn't always picture-perfect. Along the way, we witness anchoring chaos in a crowded bay, narrowly avoid hitting rocks in an an anchorage, and deal with every sailor's worst nightmare... a broken toilet 💩
From breathtaking anchorages to unexpected challenges, this episode gives you an honest, POV look at full time sailing and coastal cruising in the Mediterranean, including the highs, lows, and adventures that comes with living, working, and travelling full-time on a sailboat.

Hey! We’re Ruth and Andrew 👋🏼
After years of dreaming, we left our family, friends and lives in Edinburgh, Scotland, behind as we set off to chase our shared dream of sailing the world. Last year, we bought our 11m catamaran, Rúna, which we now call home as we live, work, sail and adventure full time across the Mediterranean.
