HOW WE DID IT AND HOW WE WILL MANAGE TO DO IT LATER?
PART I. HOW WE DID IT?
So….we sold our lovely two floors house and the land, we sold our car and mountain bikes...and bought a boat...
WRONG!!!
Unfortunately.....this is not our case.
Like most of young people who don’t have anything but a dream and want to reach it- we also had to WORK!
Of course first it came the idea, than big headache how to make it and it and than the work. We knew we need money for buying a boat so after finishing Circumnavigation we decided to start looking for jobs on boats. We both didn’t want to come back to office jobs we used to work before, so we decided we want to continue sailing and earn money doing that..
So we worked on different sailing boats as Capatain and a Crew, learned a lot, saw a lot and most important confirmed that we really want to sail!

PART II. HOW WE ARE PLANNING TO MANAGE OUR DREAM TO CONTINUE?
Enjoying relatively simple life at sea!!!
Yes its easy to say, but when all comes to reality, things change. And then appear questions.
.How?
This is the question which mostly everyone is asking us . Funny but when you live life less 'normal' people think its very OKAY to speak about Money matters, when on land, it is considered "rude" to ask how you will earn money to live, how much you need per month and how how howwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww?????...
Good questions.. Agree. But you know what is an answer?
Many times secret is not in earning, but In not spending so much!
And this we learnt with time. Living on boat teach about that a lot. You can do so many things yourselve!!...Probably much more than you could imagine ever.
And what about money, yes, of course, we need some. Our current idea is to continue working on seasonal jobs on boats. That means that on special months (depends where we are) we will try to get jobs on other boats (this we plan to do this summer) and sail the rest of the year on ours. That means we have to be ready for unstable life and unstable account probably. And we are:)
This is a price we are ready to pay for being able to have this adventurous life we chose:)
