This episode is about the ties that remain. We dock Luna in the marina, Port of Pisa, and prepare for something much bigger than sailing: returning to the Netherlands after selling our house. We are a Dutch family who left everything behind to live at sea.But leaving doesn’t mean the ties disappear.
This vlog is about:
⚓ Selling our home in the Netherlands
⚓ Visiting family and missing them when we leave
⚓ The reality of living abroad full-time
⚓ Leaving our dog Ollie in a kennel in Italy
⚓ Navigating travel stress and airport chaos
⚓ Living with endometriosis while sailing
⚓ Balancing hormones, fatigue and adventure
⚓ Motherhood at sea
⚓ What “home” really means Living on a catamaran in the Mediterranean looks free and adventurous — and it is.
But behind the sailing lifestyle is real life: health struggles, emotional goodbyes, family bonds, responsibility, and the quiet strength it takes to keep going. Endometriosis is something that sails with us, always present in the background.It shapes how I move, rest, plan, and feel.This episode touches on that reality — not as drama, but as part of life. Because adventure and vulnerability can exist together. We celebrate birthdays in hotel rooms.We say goodbye to our dog in a foreign country.We empty the last belongings from our old house in the Dutch rain.And then we return to the boat — the place that now feels most like home. This isn’t just a sailing vlog.It’s a story about family, womanhood, resilience, and the invisible threads that still connect us to where we came from. If you enjoy authentic family sailing, liveaboard life, real boat life, and honest stories behind the dream, subscribe and follow our journey. With love,SV Luna 🤍
