What this video covers

A couple living aboard a Multichine 28 sailboat maintains professional careers while cruising the Brazilian coast.2:46 The vessel, built in 2010, features a 20-horsepower engine, 400 liters of water capacity, and 100 liters of diesel, allowing for two-week periods of autonomy.5:48 The owners manage remote work by setting up a temporary desk in the cabin and rotating workspace access during meetings.9:59 They navigate the challenges of balancing professional obligations with sailing, such as managing anchorages during storms or adjusting to different time zones and connectivity requirements.15:05 Technical maintenance is handled independently, including a repair of the Raymarine autopilot actuator using a repurposed printer motor sourced from an online forum, which cost 60 BRL compared to 3,000 BRL for a new unit.26:52 The couple emphasizes that living aboard requires adapting to a different rhythm, often dictated by natural light and weather rather than traditional office hours.14:01 They conclude that while remote work from a boat requires discipline and flexibility, it remains a viable lifestyle that does not necessitate ending one's career.
