Very, very true. I have been on a few of those Outremers, and question how they will fare over many months of long distance sailing.

Lovely!!! We are East Coast Sailors, so love seeing this sort of thing. Pint of Adnams for the man when we finally catch up.

Follow the Boat ( who we follow avidly ) Posted a video about this malarkey yesterday. How sailing channels are selling out. Link is here. https://web.facebook.com/followtheboat/posts/1524096487633823?comment_id=1524864207557051&notif_t=feed_comment_reply&notif_id=1503155608410371

haha, from the archives, or a personal collection :)?

The tax thing is interesting. We are paid by youtube, but they specify that because we are ( or were ) UK residents, we have to have our youtube earnings transferred into a UK account. So despite not living in the UK for three years, it counts as UK income and thus is taxed at HMRCs rate. I guess SLV have their income put into an Aussie account, and Delos a US account.

Has she really had a boob job?

They are awesome, n They are awesome and are getting better and better.

We fly home once a year and that costs an arm and a leg as the Mrs is Australian. Another huge chunk of money is boat insurance . But I miss the East Coast, as it was cheap, beautiful and I could get Adnams in just about any pub.

We spend about $3000 a month on our living expenses for two of us. Thats an average of costs over two and a half years. We made a video of it and stuck in on youtube, as everyone seems to want to know the answer. Obviously it can be done on less, but we rarely use marinas, and rarely eat in restaurants. Yes we could drink less beer, but I want to enjoy life afloat :).

Agree totally, we gave up our corporate lives to get away from this stuff. Everyone bangs on about how lucky SLV are with this new cat. but I honestly think they've gone and made a rod for their backs Sailing should be about moving away from the stresses of modern life, not deliberately shackling yourselves. We make videos, yes, but enjoy it. Once it becomes mandatory, it's a massive pain in the ass.

We have been asked so many times about how we set up our boat to sail across oceans, that we thought we'd make a video about it. It was just our thought processes and not necessarily the gold standard. However it has provided us with as stress free an ocean crossing as you could hope for. I hope it helps others who are thinking of dropping their lines and sailing across oceans. Cheers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LiPq1L6e6pE
