Moving A 3500 Sq. Ft Home Onto A Catamaran | The Challenges Of Moving Aboard (ep 5)

Welcome to Sailing While One (s/v While One)!
After years of planning, saving, debating, a pandemic, $30,000 of boating upgrades and deliberation on retirement, we’ve finally pulled the plug and left California.
This has been a dream of mine for almost 20 years and it’s taken every bit of that time for it to be realized (more on that in future episodes). But, after counting all of the beans, Sherine and I finally decided we could escape the rat race and retire. At an age of 55 and 54, respectively, we are fully cognizant of how lucky and fortunate we are.
In this Episode we go back to October/November of 2022 when we left San Jose, CA to embark on a cross country roadtrip across the country to Mathews, VA where While One were stored on the hard since the prior June. We had driven about 3500 miles, visiting friends and family, until we finally got to Zimmerman Marina in Mathews, VA. Then the real work began.
Moving on to the boat was way more challenging than I had imagined it would be. Finding places for all of our stuff while unpacking takes time...and tensions did rise at time, as you will see.
Add to that, being nervous about being dropped in the water and needing to find a place to go with the possibility of high winds...yikes.
We had a great time, we hope you enjoy this episode. Next episode, we'll get back to sailing and perhaps more recent footage....I'm so far behind!
Thanks for watching!
