re: Couple sells all possessions to start a new life on the sea, boat sinks 2 days into trip..

There are at least a dozen youtube channels of people sailing around the world.

Most are couples, a few are groups of friends.

Delos and La Vagabonde are the top two sailing channels. Both have experienced crew and professional production quality.

The couple from this thread probably saw some of those channels and got in over their heads. I can respect their attempt to take a different path in life. But you have to be a real moron to buy a 49 year old boat with no sailing experience and think you can just set sail.


ETA: I am not sure which boat/couple you are referring to. I seem to recall La Vagabonde having issues with their original boat last year sometime, but haven't followed them closely in a few years.
