In this video we take you on a tour of our Tiny Floating Home! We have lived aboard our 1978 Catalina 30 sailboat for almost 2 years and have made many upgrades since moving aboard to make winter boat life more comfortable.
Living on a 30 ft boat gives us less than 100 square feet of space! Over the years we have adjusted to this small space and reduced the amount of physical items we keep around! We have embraced a minimalist lifestyle and have very few clothes and other personal items!
We struggled a lot with with warmth and moisture last year, and this winter we have made significant upgrades which include an electric blanket, insulation in the vberth, a dehumidifier, and our sig marine wood stove.

If you are new to the channel, Blue Moon is a 1978 Catalina 30 sailing vessel which we acquired in 2020. One year later we decided it was time for a road trip and built out a 1998 Delica to drive across the country. Now we live aboard the boat fulltime, take weekend trips in the van, and explore this beautiful world.
Thanks for watching!
