The thought of cruising around the world alone hasn’t ever really appealed to me. I like being around people, and more than that I love being around Katy. Sharing all these moments together, and working as a team to get through them, makes it all worth it. It builds a bond that is in some ways indescribable. People often ask us how we live together happily in such a small space. Truth is, we sometimes don’t. Relationships are hard work, living on a boat is hard work, and sometimes the two at the same time can be downright overwhelming. But every day, we choose to work at them both, and the small living space prevents us from building up walls between each other. This lifestyle forces us to openly communicate our emotions, wants, and needs, because if we don’t, if we aren’t on the same page, or at least in the same chapter, our lives could be at stake.

That being said, living this lifestyle together, in this small space, can easily blur the lines of individualism, of self. Katy and I have learned that it is important to continue nurturing our own independence, our own interests, and believe it or not, some of what we are interested in has nothing to do with sailing!

We both love our yoga practice but doing absolutely everything together is a part of those blurred lines. Here in Costa Rica, Katy has found a way to reconnect with Yoga, the classroom, and the community it offers, which is a part of herself that is very important. She is taking some time away from the camera at Nereus Retreats, but at the end of her time there, I will be taking you along with me as we look into what that space is like and introduce you to the amazing people who own and run it.

In supporting her own adventure, Ill be holding down the fort here on the boat, and it happens to lend itself to something I’ve wanted to experience for a while. What it takes to handle the boat all by myself. While she settles in there, the focus of the next two episodes is a look at what it’s like to handle this boat and lifestyle alone. I will be backing Boundless off the dock, living at anchor, tackling projects, and sailing solo for the first time in my life.
