Ever dream of trading your desk for a deck? Here’s how I turned that dream into my reality! Learn the 3 crucial steps I used to escape the 9-5 grind and start living a life of freedom on the open sea. After spending over a decade in construction, feeling drained and disconnected, I finally made the switch. Now, I’ve been living and sailing full-time, teaching others how to do the same with great success. Understanding the shift from a traditional career to a life at sea is more about mindset than just sailing skills. 💰Financial Planning: Start saving part of your salary each month. I’ll show you how cutting down expenses can speed up your sailing start date. ⛵️Skill Development: No need to be a pro sailor from day one. I started with basic courses, gradually built my skills and your MINDSET. 🪴Lifestyle Adjustment: Embrace minimalism. Less stuff means less to worry about when you transition to boat life. >> Set a clear budget. >> Enroll in a beginner sailing course (or try booking a charter to see if you really like it) >> Begin downsizing your possessions. Start by reviewing your current expenses and identify areas to cut back. Use the savings for your boat fund. 📷 @ggerbasi #sailing #sailor #sailinginstagram #sailinglife #sailinginstructor #sailinglifestyle #boatlife #travel #quitthe9to5 #quittheratrace

Are you making space for what you love? A decade ago, I was stuck in a 70-hour workweek construction job, spending hours in traffic, feeling life’s potential slipping through my fingers. Despite having ‘’success’’ —a house, a car, a loyal dog—I always had this nagging thought: “This can’t be all there is.” The life I was leading felt disconnected from the freedom I craved. I was convinced there had to be something more fulfilling, a life where time was mine to spend meaningfully. Fast forward to today, my “traffic jams” happen at the fuel dock, and my days are spent with the ocean as my backyard, catching fish and letting the wind dictate my course. I’ve embraced the freedom I always dreamed of, learning new languages and even making friends with sharks along the way. This radical shift to a life at sea has been my most rewarding decision, adding purpose and adventure to my life. The transformation involved a few important steps: Analyzing the cost of living a 9-5 life versus the priceless value of freedom, which pushed me towards change. Since I had never sailed before I had to take sailing lessons to familiarize myself with the maritime world and identify my essential needs for life at sea. Making the bold move to sell everything and buy a sailboat, despite my inexperience, this was the real commitment to chasing my dream. Embarking on a voyage from Montreal to the Bahamas, a journey fueled by determination and desperation, leading to a life of exploration and freedom that I was always looking for. Every mistake along the way has been a lesson guiding me to where I am now. If you’re feeling trapped in the monotony of a 9-5 life and yearn for freedom, remember, change is within your reach. I’m living proof that it’s possible to break free oh what’s making you feel miserable to live the life you dream about. Dreaming of freedom and adventure on the open seas?
