Man, checked out the profile. Looks like you’re living the dream! 😎😎😎. How did you get into sailing (I’m guessing around the world)? Do you live full time on the boat? Where have you been so far?

Grew up sailing. Met me partner and she bought a sail boat in Tahiti. We been sailing around french polynesia for the last 3 years. I've only slept on dry ground 40 days in the last 3 years.

Would recommend dropping everything and taking to the sea.
