With your Permission, We'll even play your message live on the air!He sold his house, quit his job, and moved onto a sailboat and then he stayed. We sit down with author and podcast host Paul Trammell to unpack what “liveaboard sailing” actually looks like when it’s not a vacation, but your real life: mornings on the water, steady work, and the constant choice to keep things simple so the freedom remains possible. If you’ve ever searched “how to live on a sailboat,” “digital nomad sailing,” or “move abroad and start over,” this conversation puts real details behind the dream.We talk about why Panama, especially the Bocas del Toro area, turned into a long-term home base: no hurricanes, better surf than Florida, great spearfishing, warm weather, and the underrated necessities like getting mail, ordering boat parts, and staying connected with Starlink. Paul describes the pull of nature and community, from jungle and mountains to dolphins and island life, and why stability can still exist inside a nomadic lifestyle.The heart of the story is identity and sobriety. Paul shares how quitting drinking and weed forced him to redesign his life, let go of old friendships, and build a new identity as a sailor and writer. We also get into the practical side: how he learned to sail, what boat life demands from you, how money changes the equation, and what his storm plan is when your home has an anchor instead of an address.If this sparks something in you, subscribe, share this with a friend who craves a reset, and leave a review with the biggest question you have about starting over.Our team will choose random (but timely) episodes from our previous three seasons (which are our most popular ever!) to share with our listeners during the slower parts of a long podcast season.
