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
