Simon and Carla have been sailing full time aboard their 40 foot catamaran, Ocean Fox, and #sailing​ the world's oceans for three years.


What started as a crazy idea of Carla's, just two days after their wedding, turned into an adventure sailing over 25,000 miles and visiting 47 countries.
Join me in this chat about the advantages and challenges of the full-time sailing lifestyle, as well as what it's like to be #YouTube​ stars in your 50s in a sea of younger influencers, and how to work remotely while sailing full-time.
