Channel Title: Ryan & Sophie Sailing Channel Description: Ever wondered what life looks like on the other side of leaving it all? Quitting your job, selling your house and buy a boat to sail around the World? We did too. And then, we took the plunge. We are Ryan and Sophie, an American guy and a French girl who met in Sweden, on a cold night of March 2015. Shortly thereafter, we decided to leave our corporate jobs to live a big sailing adventure around the World together. We had no experience of sailing at all before we started, and had honestly no idea what we were getting ourselves into. Turns out, with a bit of willpower and work, anything goes. The dream came true on June 5th of 2018, when we finally got to set sail from our home port in Stockholm. Welcome to our channel, where we tell the stories of our sailing voyage, from zero experience to full-time cruising!

Check out our online course, "Sailing the World" and go from zero to learning how sail, how to buy a boat and equip it for your sailing adventure: https://www.brighttrip.com/courses/sailing-the-world?utm_source=creator_Ryan_Sophie 🛠️ Sailing resources : https://www.ryanandsophie.com/gear-guide 🎥 Photo & Film gear we use: https://amzn.to/3PO4f2h -- If you are a sailor in Nova Scotia, you have certainly heard of Chester Race Week, a huge sailing event that gathers over one hundred boats in the small village of Chester in Nova Scotia. It is a HUGE event that quadruples the population of the village over the course of a week, and turns the yacht club into a sailing mecca (which makes me think of Nick and Lori who we had such a fun time meeting at the yacht club during race week, and who looked like they were having fun ;)) Once again, I try my hands at racing, this time on a historic boat called a "Bluenose", a small sloop designed and built in the province. And it turns out, I am bad luck to take on a sailing race (I will continue trying though ;)) In this episode, I also take you to Peggy's Cove and a nearby trail, where I think I made my favorite memories of our stay in Nova Scotia. I hope watching this episode gives you the itch to sail North next summer! -- If you shop on Amazon, you can support this channel at no cost by using the link:  https://www.amazon.com/?tag=ryansophiesai-20 Thank you for supporting this channel! ** LINKS 🖇** http://www.ryanandsophie.com // Videos, stories, photos and other goodies of our travel and sailing adventure https://www.facebook.com/ryanandsophiesailing | Short stories and videos of our life onboard.  https://www.instagram.com/ryan_and_sophie_sailing | Sweet photos of our sailing and the places we visit.

Ever wondered what life looks like on the other side of leaving it all?

Quitting your job, selling your house and buy a boat to sail around the World?

We did too. And then, we took the plunge.

We are Ryan and Sophie, an American guy and a French girl who met in Sweden, on a cold night of March 2015. Shortly thereafter, we decided to leave our corporate jobs to live a big sailing adventure around the World together.

We had no experience of sailing at all before we started, and had honestly no idea what we were getting ourselves into. Turns out, with a bit of willpower and work, anything goes. The dream came true on June 5th of 2018, when we finally got to set sail from our home port in Stockholm.

Welcome to our channel, where we tell the stories of our sailing voyage, from zero experience to full-time cruising!
