Simon and Carla Fowler are sailing the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea on their boat, the Ocean Fox.
They've made over 200 videos on their Ocean Fox YouTube channel.
I ask them:
- On a 1-10 scale, how hard is it to sail the English Channel vs. the Atlantic Ocean vs. the Pacific Ocean?
- Is the weather router (which sends you a local weather report to your satellite phone) for $15 worth it?
- How much does having broadband Internet in the middle of the ocean cost you? (The answer is SHOCKING!)
- How did they get rid of things before sailing off to the sunset?
- How did they buy their boat, the Ocean Fox?
- Why did they pick a catamaran?
- Why the Lagoon 400 model?
- What lessons did they learn from buying a boat?
- How did they finance this?
- How much does it cost to spend a week on the Ocean Fox and get training?
- How do they navigate?
- Are there tensions between sailing boats vs. powerboats?
- What are their future plans?
