Woody&#39;s spreadsheet method or Irenka one-way ticket method.</p><p>Both ended up sailing around the world for eight years.</p><p>This episode covers what the first step looked like for 2 completely different people, the families they met out there who started with even less, and why the question is never where to start or how to start. It&#39;s just.. start.</p><p>Along the way: a Russian family from Siberia who bought a concrete boat and are still sailing. An Israeli family who bought a boat during COVID and learned as they went. An American who binge-watched YouTube for a year and is now completing his circumnavigation. Why interpersonal skills and a good pot of stew will get you further than a Yachtmaster certificate. Why your boat will never be ready. And why secondary port calculations are the nautical equivalent of learning to ride a horse in case your car breaks down.</p><p>---</p><p>💙 SUPPORT OUR CHANNELS:</p><p>A big THANK-YOU to our MOTHERSHIP PATREON family who make these videos possible.
