The Cost of Freedom: What It Actually Cost to Sail Around the World for 8 Years

After our recent media coverage, we were flooded with one question: "How did you afford it?" In this episode, I'm breaking down the real numbers behind our 8-year sailing adventure with our family of five.

What You'll Learn:
• Our total working budget: £175,000 ($222,000 USD / €205,000)
• Monthly living costs once we found our rhythm
• How we funded the trip (no trust fund, no inheritance)
• The systems that saved us thousands
• Why we chose to self-insure
• How rental income kept us stable
• The real cost comparison vs. median household income

Key Takeaways:

We lived on less than the median household income of any Western country
The boat cost £130,000 from selling our sailing school and holiday unit
Final years averaged £2,000/month ($2,500 USD / €2,300)
Solar, lithium batteries, and a watermaker were game-changers
DIY maintenance isn't optional—it's essential
This isn't about being wealthy. It's about converting what you have into what you need. Converting assets into freedom.

Next Episode: The education question—what we actually did about school for eight years.

📖 Everything covered here is in the book in more detail. Captain's Table members on Patreon get early access to chapters.
