How much does it REALLY cost to sail around the world? - Ep.51

Can you sail around the world for less than $9000 per person per year? We get asked over and over about how much it costs us to live this life sailing full time around the world. Now, after sailing half way around the world from England to Australia over 3 years, we have enough data to answer it properly. We have tracked every single penny that we have spent over the last 3 years so we can now share how much it REALLY costs to sail around the world. This video is not how to sail around world on the cheap, it is just an explanation of how much WE have spent and WHAT we have spent it on. We hope that by sharing this information it will allow others who have a similar dream, to understand the costs involved in sailing around the world.

We are a British couple who set off from England in 2016 to fulfill our dream of sailing around the world on our 37ft sail boat, Florence. Along the way we share the live aboard lifestyle with the highs and lows of travelling around the world by boat.

How we afford to Sail Around the World – Full time sailing on a Budget - Ep.79

How we fund our dream and what it took to start out sailing around the world. After 4 years of full time travel sailing around the world, we explain how we fund this dream life now in our 30's rather than waiting until retirement. We break down how much it cost us to sail around the world over the last year, where than money was spent and where the money comes from. Answering is one of the questions we are asked most often. How do we make our money as digital nomads off grid full time sailing on a budget.

We are a British couple who set off from England in 2016 to fulfil our dream of sailing around the world on our 37ft sail boat, Florence. Along the way we share the live aboard lifestyle with the highs and lows of travelling around the world by boat, our own little tiny house. Boat life out at sea on the ocean.

HOW TO SAIL AROUND THE WORLD

Although it may seem crazy to sail around the world, once you analyze the various wind patterns and hurricane seasons and with a bit of planning it’s quite reasonable for anyone with a sense of adventure to do the same. There’s lots of ways to sail around the world. If you’re racing, you often use storms in the southern ocean to propel you along. It’s a completely different approach. One that requires serious boats that are built for those conditions. We on the other hand sail around the world by staying more or less in the trade wind belts. This stacks the odds in our favour. We often have the wind and waves behind, pushing us along and stay warm in the non-stop tropical conditions.

BE BRAVE. BE BOLD,

Ben & Ash

Ep 56 | The Cost of Cruising

The questions we most often get asked are What's it like to live on a boat and cruise the world ? and How much does it cost?
These are difficult questions which is why we've avoided them for three years! But the time has come.
In this video we go through our whole experience so far. Five years of living on a boat and three years of cruising. We try and give some insight into the life and the costs.
The reason we tried to sidestep this video until now is because there are plenty of other videos out there on the cost of sailing. However, it has been pointed out to us that just about all of them are people in their 20s and 30s, most trying to do this on an absolute minimum budget. As we know, YouTubers aside, the vast majority of cruisers out there on the water are in their 50s and 60s so this one's for you guys.
I know there will be a million questions so fire ahead in the comments. I'll anticipate one and answer no, I have no idea how much I spend on beer!

Sailing Balachandra is our YouTube sailing vlog inspired by other great channels such as Delos and La Vagabonde, which documents the sailing adventures of myself and my partner Nawal as we navigate the globe. We also dive into lots of DIY boat projects both above and below decks, and share with you all of the pros and cons of living aboard full time.

Whitehaven Beach, Where for Art Thou? Ep. 89

Well, Whitehaven Beach has got to be one of the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever seen. It has this sand that is so white it actually hurts your eyes and if you’re not wearing sunglasses for some bizarre reason, you have to go to the optometrist and have your eye balls checked out. Seriously what an epic week on the water, this has got to be the highlight of our trip so far. Whitehaven Beach is also where they recently filmed a part of the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie so when it comes out I’m going to make Riley watch a POC marathon with me.

Are you too old to sail around the world? - Sailing Q&A 38

Don’t believe the hype, sailing Channels are selling you a lie. Bottom line? The vast majority of cruisers are over 50 and do not post videos about their adventures. YouTube sailing channels are generally made by young fun-lovers, but most cruisers are 'old' freedom lovers.
We have met cruisers in their 90s, but most people living on sailboats are pensioners.
Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter. Mark Twain.
