“Will I be able to sleep on the boat at nights?” is a very common question for first time sailors. Especially, for the ones who don’t feel comfortable anywhere other than their own beds, getting seasick on a boat or have trouble sleeping.

Yes, it is normal to feel uneasy about sleeping on a boat but be open minded; you might get the best sleep of your life on the boat.
We’ve all been through a very tough year. Uncertainty and anxiety are the best two words to describe last year. Losses, quarantine, social distancing used up us. The only good outcome of this suffering is that it helped us to understand what really matters the most. To cherish our beloved ones, to not live for working but to work for living, to invest in good memories rather than things we’ll never use, just to name a few. Another outcome of 2021 is we’re now aware that our soul can be healed and renewed with nature focused holidays, not with mass tourism.
