VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
Welcome aboard! Join Bennie as she guides you through her cherished boat-a haven where practicality meets adventure. This tour explores every nook of her sailing home, which has traversed the Atlantic and now rests peacefully in a marina.
Kitchen (The Galley) Overview:
Material Love: The boat is adorned with mahogany planks from Honduras, chosen specifically for their resistance to mold compared to fiberglass or aluminum boats.
Cooking on the Waves: Equipped with a gimballed stove to keep meals steady despite the ocean's sway, and connected to a fiberglass propane tank for rust-free longevity.
Water Systems: Although currently hooked to marina amenities like shore power and fresh water, Bennie plans to install a water maker using reverse osmosis to provide clean drinking water when sea-bound.
Living Quarters:
Compact Luxury: The saloon doubles as a cozy living room with a convertible berth for guests, reflecting the dual functionality essential in tiny living spaces.
Favorite Feature: Bennie's favorite feature is surprisingly the gimballed stove in the galley-a cherished element that ensures a spill-free cooking experience, no matter the sea conditions.
Navigational Necessities:
Tech for the Sea: The boat is equipped with both modern navigation systems and traditional celestial navigation resources, ensuring safety and direction regardless of circumstances.
Power Solutions: A UPZ 600 watt power station backed by solar panels offers a sustainable energy solution, essential for long voyages and life off-grid.
Personal Reflections:
A Symbolic Sanctuary: For Bennie, the boat is more than a home; it's a symbol of his personal journey-reflecting battles with mental health and the ongoing project of self-renewal, much like the continuous maintenance the boat demands.
Community Connection: Emphasizing the importance of giving back, a portion of proceeds from his power station goes to communities without electricity, aligning with his values of support and sustainability.
Adventures and Aspirations:
Crossing Oceans: From the Canary Islands off Africa to the shores of the Bahamas, each nautical mile has been a testament to growth and adventure, reinforcing Bennie's love for the sea.
Therapeutic Ventures: Bennie envisions a future where therapy transcends traditional settings, utilizing the therapeutic nature of the ocean to aid others in their healing journeys.
Invitation to Follow:
Interested in more than just sailing? Join Bennie on her journey across both waves and life’s challenges. Follow his adventures on Instagram and KZfaq at Bennie Meets World, and learn more about sustainable and adventurous living with The Lost Kid Crew.
Thank you for stepping aboard and sharing a piece of this vast, blue world with her. Here’s to smooth sailing and the endless pursuit of horizons!

There is nothing better than the boat life. I have lived 7 years in my 44-foot sailboat, north of the polar circle, Bodø and Tromsø in northern Norway .The winters uo here can be harsh, with 2 meters of snow and fierce winter storms. But wouldn't be without it

I didn't think you could live up there on a sailboat. Do you have to have a bubbler or something to keep the water open in winter? Living on a sailboat was a dream of mine - and doing it in Norway where my mom came from would have been pretty amazing!

Starboard and port derive from the Portuguese estibordo and bombordo while they were navigating south along the African coast, on the left you had the “good side” with port you could reach the docks, on the the right you had the “star side” (estibordo) or starboard

IMHO you are doing the right thing. I built my boat in the 90’s here in San Diego. Launched in 2000 and she has been my home ever since. I’m on a mooring near the Star of India downtown. My plan is to sail a lot locally this summer and head south in November. I’ll make my way north to Puerto Penasco in the spring and leave her on the hard during the hurricane season. You do a great job of describing the lifestyle.

Sleeps 2 adults (v-berth) and one non-adult (quarter berth), head, galley, setee and table. All you mentioned about maintaining and living and sailing is 1000 % true. I feel so happy and cozy and refocused when in, around and “playing” on my little vessel. It is therapy for sure. Will take a look a your “Adult Adventures” crew clan.. That describes me!!😂

love your story, I have worked with Mahogany as a furniture maker, it's a very special timber, & I like the 'living on a sailing boat' idea, I did do some boat-type work (cray fish trawler) and I didn get off the deck for the whole trip duration I was that sick and have suffered really bad sea sickness when I've done boat fishing, way back, but still love the notion! I do love ginger!!! (apparent sea sick-ness remedy) It initially sounds cheap, the rent anyway, although an uncle of mine who did own and sail boats often said; boats a whole in the ocean of which you pour dollars!!! This comment knows my budget and for me to make real of this dream I would literally be swapping my land house (investment) for the boat life and I know also, as you say/point to adventure being extreemly beneficial, which too is an investment of a different nature! Regardless, I enjoyed your tale, thank you.

The headaches and expenses of constantly fixing and improving things and having to adapt to all the hundreds of inconveniences on a daily basis is a hassle that gets old quickly. When I was younger this was more appealing. Now as I'm older, not so much lol. But good for her for embracing adventure while she can. 👍
