What this video covers
Adriano Plotzky of Hashtag Sal interviews Gabi, a physician who specialises in sexology, and her partner John aboard their Bora Bora 36, a Brazilian-designed sailboat they describe as having exceptional storage and cross-ventilation.▶ 5:14 Gabi transitioned from obstetrics to online sexology consultations specifically to make liveaboard life viable, scheduling patient appointments around passages.▶ 17:25 The conversation covers how liveaboard life intensifies relationships — both romantic and social — and why sexual health matters for couples living aboard. John, who has 12–13 years of sailing experience, had a heart attack while running an advertising agency at 152 kg, which drove the decision to move aboard and restructure his life around sailing.▶ 16:17 The couple runs an internet-equipment supply company remotely, allowing full-time nomadic life.▶ 15:02 They discuss the Bora Bora 36's layout in detail: a dedicated cabin, a compact closet, open storage to prevent mould, and natural cross-ventilation that keeps the boat cool even in Bahia.▶ 20:38 They also address the emotional cost of nomadic life — missing family and long-term friends — and the discipline of deferring to weather windows rather than forcing departures.▶ 29:11 Their core relationship rule: never make decisions after an argument; sleep on it first.▶ 7:38
