Key Quotes
You go to the most incredible places, which you would never get to go any other way. We went to an Archipelago called Los Roques of the Venezuelan coast. These were the most stunning islands; the waters were so clear and blue, the beaches were white, and they were utterly deserted.
on perks of traveling by sailing
One of the most wonderful things is meeting people along the way. It is effortless to meet people because you’re all anchored up together. The bad thing is when the weather’s rough. It is tiring, rough, and inhospitable.
on the pros and cons of boat life/travel
You get into a very slow pace of mind when you are out at sea. Things happen slowly; you have a significant lack of sleeping during the night because you have to be on watch
on the pace of travel and safety responsibilities
It inspires people to do things, especially at our ages, because we are not in our 20s. So people get inspired by us. We meet people who say they’re at sea because of us. They are enjoying life like us.
