My Liferaft Was Completely Useless | Sailing Solo Around the World – Ep. 286
I thought my liferaft was my last line of defence. Then I had it inspected at a certified Lalizas service station in Mauritius — and I got the shock of my life.

What’s up ⛵🎶 | Ukulele cover from SY Loveworkx
I've loved this song for years. Every time I play it, it reminds me to pause, look up, and ask what really matters. Choosing a life at sea isn't a path everyone understands. People often have an opinion. Some believe you shouldn't leave your family behind. Others assume life on the o...
