Untold realities of boat life

Welcome to another week of never-ending boat preparations. While trying to get Polar Seal ready to set sail, we've been facing some eye-opening realities about living and traveling the world on a sailboat.

If you watch lots of sailing vlogs featuring couples (or families) having lots of fun all the time, you might be misled. It’s not all about relaxing on beaches and sipping margaritas, no sir! When you embrace the boat life, there's so much no one talks about. So we decided to share some of the realities of this lifestyle with you.

As I filmed this video, I couldn't help but ponder these untold truths once again. I already made a video about this topic a while back, but there's still plenty to share - believe me.

You can probably guess the first reality I talk about in the video: plans rarely work out! It doesn’t matter where you are, whether that’s in the boat yard, out sailing, in a marina, or in a beautiful anchorage. Don’t rely on a schedule, ever.

Watch the full episode to learn about the other hidden (and sometimes hash!) realities of boat life.
