The Future of Sailing & COVID-19 : Plan SEA | Episode 87

It’s been almost a year since COVID-19 first revealed itself and now it feels like a bad house guest who just doesn’t want to go away even living on a sailboat.

Living full time on our sailboat, circumnavigating the globe, we haven’t been too bothered by the effects until really now as this Pandemic has put a hold on our passage across the South Pacific.

So knowing that we are not the only ones who plans and dreams are being washed away with every changing tide, we decided to put a video together outlining what it’s going to mean going forward with COVID-19 lingering around.

Big changes to travel and how we live are going to impact us for the days to come, but this is just another hurdle we learn to get over and continue to live this beautiful life we have chosen.

We were joined by other full time liveaboards and YouTubeers themselves who experience the same ill effects in different parts of the world. They have given us their perspective from where they are and an insight to how they see the future of sailing and COVID. Their travels and adventures are true inspiration and is a reminder to how to live your best life. Be sure to check out their channels and sailing adventures too!
