We know, we know... This article is long due!!! If you cannot wait to know where we are in the process of buying our sailboat at the moment I am writing this article, just scroll down.If you want to know how we did buy our sailboat with 0 knowledge or prior experience of sailing, keep on reading here is the story!

In June last year, Ryan texted me about this article he read, telling the story of Matt and Jessica, a couple who had quit their jobs, sold their house, bought a sailboat and left a conventional lifestyle to start sailing the World together with their cat.I wished it was Ryan's way of telling me that he finally liked cats and want us to get one. But it turned out to be the beginning of what will probably be the biggest adventure of our life so far. Sadly, still no cat in the picture.

It's crazy how many people have visited our site since we launched our sailboat adventure in July (despite the few updates we've made), we can't believe it! Thank you so much for reading our blog, we're super thrilled to have you onboard :)

Ryan *Shaking my left arm as I lay in bed, sleeping* Babe? Babe… I know..!!!Me… Hmmmmm… what?Ryan We're getting A BIG RUBBER DUCK ON OUR SPINNAKER!!!Me *yawning* That's awesome honey… Let's do it…. What time is it…?Ryan 6am. It's only four hours left to the show, let's get up and be the first there!!!Me Yeah... right... *falling back asleep*One hour later:Ryan *shaking my left arm again and singing* Rubber ducky, you'RE THE OOOONNNE!!! You make bath time LOTS OF FUUUUUUUN!!!

Yes, that tiny detail... We've never actually sailed!Although Ryan claims that I "have some good sailing experience from growing up in the west cost of France" (probably referring to my optimist sailing when I was 9), together, our combined experience of sailing is close to zero.So how do you consider sailing around the world with no experience, and where do you start when you're totally new to sailing?
