There is nothing better than the boat life. I have lived 7 years in my 44-foot sailboat, north of the polar circle, Bodø and Tromsø in northern Norway .The winters uo here can be harsh, with 2 meters of snow and fierce winter storms. But wouldn't be without it

I didn't think you could live up there on a sailboat. Do you have to have a bubbler or something to keep the water open in winter? Living on a sailboat was a dream of mine - and doing it in Norway where my mom came from would have been pretty amazing!

Life's a journey to be savored - not a race to a conclusion - and your journey's just begun. Live it!

Wonderful story, I’m sure a lot of people can relate. I purchased an old wooden boat after my divorce and restored it. It helped me get through a very tough period. Flash forward 25 years and I still have the amazing restored boat. Many happy memories. Good luck in your journey 😊

Love her! Living on boats for the last 10 years...kindred soul

Your boat is nice and cosy. You are an uplifting person and wish you all the best for your mental health. The ambient mood of sitting in your boat as the water slowly rocks and the calming peace.

The sound of the waves lapping against the hull and wires clinking on masts can be a good background when you want to relax.

My husband and I were liveaboards for 30 years together - sweet lifestyle! Cruised Mexico for several years. Now we are full time traveling the US in our small travel trailer. Your interior is beautiful!

Nice video, Impressed with you, sometimes see people living in vans or boats and they seem like "posers". You strike me as very genuine, love your "style". Be safe, God Bless.

really good deal for that boat, nice of that guy to give you such a break on it.

Love your boat and your passion ! remember , mental health is sometimes like diabetes - in that, its a lifelong thing to manage - no shame !! - if you need medication / therapy take it x

Happiness. Most people, when asked what their goal is, don't say that. Good for you. (And as someone who can retire next year, I have a little wisdom to draw from)

starboard used to be the steering side of the boat (majority of people right handed), port side is the dock/port side because the steering gear /steering board was in the way on the other side

The names go back to the Scandinavians and entered the English language via that route but the arrangement goes way back to the earliest boats.

Starboard and port derive from the Portuguese estibordo and bombordo while they were navigating south along the African coast, on the left you had the “good side” with port you could reach the docks, on the the right you had the “star side” (estibordo) or starboard

@@skippywinters That sounds more like a conflation of the term Posh.. Port side Out Starboard side Home ... because that was the cooler side of the boat . Mostly from days of the 🇬🇧 Empire travelling to the near and far East via Capetown or Suez after it was built.

It must be quite peaceful on your boat at night, waves slowly rocking your boat!! Sounds really great with so much Kaos going on in our world!! 💫

for$1k you did well . less is more especially with boats . i had a 62 foot classic Italian yacht and as much as i loved her became overwhelming. i have a 34 foot boat now and it’s better all round. but as all yachts there is always a cost .

Thank you for sharing your beautiful home 😊

The booms on the Herreshoff are so unique. Looked at them on a 38 i almost bought. Cool boats. Congratulations and Fair Winds

IMHO you are doing the right thing. I built my boat in the 90’s here in San Diego. Launched in 2000 and she has been my home ever since. I’m on a mooring near the Star of India downtown. My plan is to sail a lot locally this summer and head south in November. I’ll make my way north to Puerto Penasco in the spring and leave her on the hard during the hurricane season. You do a great job of describing the lifestyle.

Now, I'd like my house to look like your bedroom/living room, with the exposed wood, plants and Boho design ❤

Lovely video . I have considered similar to you and using my boat as therapy for others, so much learning takes place.

What a smile 😻

Beautiful wooden boat ❤.! I too have a (even more tiny) boat/home. She’s a Pacific Seacraft- Flicka 20. Yep. 20 ft. with all the same features as yours. Sleeps 2 adults (v-berth) and one non-adult (quarter berth), head, galley, setee and table. All you mentioned about maintaining and living and sailing is 1000 % true. I feel so happy and cozy and refocused when in, around and “playing” on my little vessel. It is therapy for sure. Will take a look a your “Adult Adventures” crew clan.. That describes me!!😂

Give give give…needs, what’s and desires. Everything is only perfect!

Thank you x

I admire you.

The work is it's own reward,

Everything about sailboats and being on the water is just - well no words for it really. We know! But I gotta dive off subject for a minute - what brand pants are those? So dang cute and look comfy. Sorry. Love your perfect tiny water home. 😊

love your story, I have worked with Mahogany as a furniture maker, it's a very special timber, & I like the 'living on a sailing boat' idea, I did do some boat-type work (cray fish trawler) and I didn get off the deck for the whole trip duration I was that sick and have suffered really bad sea sickness when I've done boat fishing, way back, but still love the notion! I do love ginger!!! (apparent sea sick-ness remedy) It initially sounds cheap, the rent anyway, although an uncle of mine who did own and sail boats often said; boats a whole in the ocean of which you pour dollars!!! This comment knows my budget and for me to make real of this dream I would literally be swapping my land house (investment) for the boat life and I know also, as you say/point to adventure being extreemly beneficial, which too is an investment of a different nature! Regardless, I enjoyed your tale, thank you.

I love your atitude and hopes for the future,your boat looks lovely and homely but (not being negative) i mentally i see heavy seas and everything being thrown around..stay safe and live your dream.

That boat is older than me. But I guess you can't go wrong with the 80s. I've always wanted a Tayana 37, but I definitely can't afford one.

What a cutie..Forgive me for being a bit forward and thinking out loud

A wooden sail boat is a nightmare of a expence nothing like all fiberglass with a large outboard

I am surprised that more people do not buy boats to live on, even in the city, parked on a trailer. And you would be ready for a flood...

It all looks lovely in an edited video, but living in boats, vehicles and RVs has its disadvantages too. I've done it. The headaches and expenses of constantly fixing and improving things and having to adapt to all the hundreds of inconveniences on a daily basis is a hassle that gets old quickly. When I was younger this was more appealing. Now as I'm older, not so much lol. But good for her for embracing adventure while she can. 👍
