    I just wanted to say that I took my dog and cat with me when I crossed the Atlantic by ship from Montreal to Copenhagen back in the early 70s. The ship had a special deck for pets and I forget how my dog relieved himself (the cats were in large cages) but I have pictures of him with a mile-wide grin on his face while in the background the ship is rolling in a huge wave while he is steadfast with his legs apart and loving it. Such great memories. Animals adapt but I am sorry to hear that their dog will not pee on the boat. Training as a puppy may have fixed that but maybe an animal behaviorist could help them out.

You did a great job illustrating what the difference between a 30 and 40 footer is. Doesnt sound like all that much more but its a LOT more boat. Keep it up guys I want to see more! Maybe some astroturf for that dog guys, and just spray it off or dip it in the ocean to "clean it". Holding your pee sucks!

    I would love to go sailing around the world, but one question I've never seen answered by a youtuber is how one can get needed medication while sailing? Both my husband and I have a few meds that we need to take daily, for the rest of our lives, how difficult is it to deal with large amounts of meds when sailing (both from the "how do you store it so it doesn't get wet and ruined", and "how do you deal with declaring a thousand pills for the next year+ when you pull into port"?)

    I have this understanding from magazine like latitude 38 and others that this is happening with sail boats Too just not as fast as there are still alott of free places left.
