What it’s Like to Balance Working and Cruising Full TimeBoat Life
Lucy WilcoxAugust 20, 2025
Lucy sails on her Cabo Rico 38 with her husband Matt and boat dog Chelsea. After taking a two-year sailing sabbatical, she couldn’t face ditching sandy feet, dinghy rides, and boat life for dress shoes, traffic jams, and land life. She started by taking gig teaching jobs while earning certifications to become an instructional designer. She now works full-time building online courses for a major university. She cruises the US East Coast and Bahamas.
