Episode Details

Simon and Carla Fowler are sailing the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea on their boat, the Ocean Fox. 

They've made over 200 videos on their Ocean Fox YouTube channel.

If you prefer watching this interview, you can see it on my YouTube channel.

I ask them:

• On a 1-10 scale, how hard is it to sail the English Channel vs. the Atlantic Ocean vs. the Pacific Ocean?


• Is the weather router (which sends you a local weather report to your satellite phone) for $15 worth it?


• How much does having broadband Internet in the middle of the ocean cost you? (The answer is SHOCKING!)


• How did they get rid of things before sailing off to the sunset?


• How did they buy their boat, the Ocean Fox?


• Why did they pick a catamaran?


• Why the Lagoon 400 model?


• What lessons did they learn from buying a boat?


• How did they finance this?


• How much does it cost to spend a week on the Ocean Fox and get training?


• How do they navigate?


• Are there tensions between sailing boats vs. powerboats?


• What are their future plans?
