We QUIT Our Office Jobs To Buy A Boat! - Here's What It's Really Like | S2 - EP8
*Learn more about our Orca Chart Plotter: https://getorca.com/?via=therunalife*
If you’ve ever wondered what the everyday looks like when you quit your job and live on a sailboat, this is it 😀
We quit our office jobs in 2025 to chase a dream of sailing the world. Now we live, work remotely, and adventure full-time aboard Rúna, our 38ft catamaran, documenting the highs, lows, and everything in between. Since we moved aboard, we’ve sailed more than 4,000 nautical miles across the Mediterranean, discovering incredible anchorages, hidden coastal towns, and some of Europe’s most spectacular scenery.
In this episode, we begin our journey down the breathtaking northwest coast of Sardinia, carefully navigating a narrow, shallow channel before hoisting the sails for a beautiful light-wind passage towards Bosa. Along the way, we wander the historic streets of Alghero, hike beneath the towering limestone cliffs of Capo Caccia, and visit the spectacular Neptune’s Grotto (Grotta di Nettuno), one of Sardinia’s most famous natural wonders.
If you enjoy the video, we’d love it if you subscribed and joined us for Part 2, where we continue sailing south along Sardinia’s spectacular coastline before embarking on a 25 hour passage to Tunisia ⛵

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 Excess 11 catamaran, Rúna, which we now call home as we live, work, sail and adventure across the Mediterranean.
