Covid and Sailing?

Is Covid making this lifestyle super hard for you all?

I'm wanting to go full live aboard and cruise around the world... is this horrible timing for this?

Re: Covid and Sailing?

It is horrible for many reasons. One COVID makes the rules for each port change frequently meaning you have to keep your itinerary very flexible.....including the idea of having to remain at certain ports for an extended time. The other issue is just boat inventory and parts for those boats. The supply chain makes it hard to get going and stay going.

Yup. Covid-19 has made a huge impact on our cruising. And yes, it is bad timing. But if you're ready to go, don't let it stop you. It's just another challenge to overcome.
