hi I'm John and I'm Julie and these are
two dogs penny and mondo we were living
the classic suburban lifestyle when we
decided we wanted to change so we sold
everything we owned bought a sailboat
and are headed off on our new adventure
welcome to Shaggy seeds
[Music]
when I met Julia we started taking trips
and going places I'd never been before
and it started giving me a taste of the
amazing things out there especially the
ocean and that's when I started
realizing that I wanted more than just
two weeks a year to travel and that's
where sailing comes in in my opinion
it's one of the best ways to combine a
love for travel and the ocean it gives
you a freedom that you can't really get
in any other lifestyle there are many
challenges and inconveniences that come
along with saline and living on a boat
but the challenge is also part of the
appeal so I worked for the past several
years as an artist and music teacher and
I've always really enjoyed and drawing
my inspiration from nature and the
different travels that we've done I love
the challenge of learning new skills and
I've always sought out information on
different ways to work live and develop
my passions when John suggested we could
live on a sailboat and sail the world I
thought he was kidding so after a
researching there's a ton it's my
favorite idea yet we both became really
interested in full-time sailing and
realized now would be the best time for
us to do it so we planned saved
researched a ton sold everything we
owned bought a boat and now we're
finally ready to set sail
piñon mundo are babies so of course
they're coming with us too there are
fantastic little life buddies and we
love seeing them experience new things
in the world around them mondo looks
charging in to new situations head-on to
experience all it has to offer
especially if water and new smells are
involved
[Music]
then he takes a more cautious route but
always manages to find the coziest spot
to lounge and the best rays of Sun I've
always enjoyed filming and editing
videos and it's something that Julie and
I have done in our previous travels
filming really helps me look for those
special moments and gives me a chance to
relive them and share them with others
on shaggy seas we will be sharing our
experiences living on a boat with our
two dogs exploring beautiful
destinations fixing the inevitable boat
problems seeing wildlife
and meeting new people and cultures
along the way we'll be posting videos
once a week of our travels and we'll
also have additional information and
articles on our website Shaggy sees calm
so for the past year we've been secretly
working night and day to make this dream
happen and we've been filming along the
way so we'll be able to take you all
along on the vote-buying process and
everything else in between we've
convinced the past year of videos down
into the highlights to show you what
it's really like to sell your home
everything you own buy a boat and get it
outfitted for sailing we are about to
set sail and are so excited to have you
