80. The Little Things That Make Life at Sea Work
🎙️ Today's guests are Julie and Gio from Pelagic Blue, who sail aboard their Malo 39, Sea Fox.⛵️ At the time of this recording, they were preparing for a Pacific passage toward the Galapagos, and in this episode, we talk through what that actually involves, both practically and mentally.From permits and route planning to watch systems, fatigue, and decision-making at sea, this is a grounded look at the reality behind longer offshore passages.We also explore what it means to sail as a couple. Julie and Gio share how they moved from being “two captains” with different approaches to building a system that works, and how looking after each other has become central to how they sail.Along the way, we talk about the smaller routines that matter more than you might expect, from food and morale to staying rested enough to make good decisions.And finally, we touch on what “home” means when your life is tied to a boat, and how that definition can shift over time.⭐️ Find Julie & Gio online:Pelagic Blue websiteCruiser's CollegeThis podcast is brought to you with curiosity, kindness and a big sailing dream.You can explore more episodes, show notes and ways to support the show at liveaboardsailingpodcast.comFollow our community on Instagram & Facebook: @liveaboardsailingpodcastIf this episode inspired you, please rate or review the show; it makes a world of difference!Guest inquiry formHave a story to share?
