The Runa Life
Hey! We’re Ruth and Andrew 👋🏼
We’re both 30-something and gave up the conventional 9–5 office life to leave Scotland behind and chase our shared dream of buying a yacht and sailing the world.
We live on our 11m catamaran, Rúna, which we now call home, as we live, work, sail, and adventure almost full-time. During the winter, we stop pretending to be pirates for a couple of months as we travel and explore by land, chasing adventure wherever it takes us.
Join us for a laid-back and fun adventure as we explore the world and get to grips with life at sea 🏝️

We’re back among the Aeolian Islands, a ridiculously beautiful volcanic archipelago in the Tyrrhenian Sea! 😍
We had to have a few days back on mainland Sicily for repairs, provisioning and picking up a guest, but now, we’re back in one of our favourite places we’ve sailed this year 🌋⛵
Volcanos EVERYONE and the most epic sunset we’ve seen in a while 😍🌋

Join us at 18:45 (UK) tomorrow for our brand new video as we give you a glimpse into a real 48-hour period of our lives and show you our POV of what it's really like to live, work, and adventure full-time on our 11m catamaran.
We’ll be sailing along the stunning coastline of Sardinia, dropping anchor in some unbelievable bays, and dealing with plenty of drama in an anchorage 😢⛵️

Our first month back on Rúna has been an eventful start, but so much fun! 🤩
The weather has been strong and we've sailed in some of the biggest winds on Rúna yet, hitting 44 knots of apparent wind on the strongest day and riding down 2m waves at 10kts.
The best bit - we got to Sardinia safely to meet Andrew's family and spent 4 days with them sailing, swimming and having fun with our water toys 🧡
The worst bit - we started the season with a blocked toilet which wasn't fun to fix 💩 😭
Roll on the month of June exploring Sardinia ⛵️ ☀️ 🌊 🏝️

Unfortunately, there’s no new video from us this week 💔😢
We’ve been busy hosting Andrew’s mum and brother aboard Rúna for the very first time so we decided to take a little time away from the cameras and focus on family time 🥰🥰
But don’t worry… we’ll be back next week with a BIG video 👀🙌🏼

We got invited for an exclusive first look at a brand new catamaran being made in South Africa, and it’s design is out of this world - probably one of the best looking boats we have ever seen! 😍
