Sail Loot Podcast 026: Chris Bartick Paints Moments Sailing

By on July 30, 2015

Chris Bartick is the perfect example for Sail Loot. There are many ways of making your sailing money. The most popular seems to be to work hard, save money, minimize your spending, and build a cruising kitty that will last a few months, several years, or maybe even forever!

However, Chris decided that he wanted to live on a sailboat sooner rather than later. He didn’t want ot wait around while he was spending money on land. Chris took action and decided to continue his graphic design business, Chris Bartick Art Design, on his Stevens 47 sailboat, Moment.

Not only did Chris continue his graphic design business, but he also wanted to have another method of making money and he wanted to see if he could make that income doing what he loved…sailing. Sure, he’s got his instructor certification, but he tried that route before. Chris wanted to take people sailing on his own sailboat and he made that happen with Moment.

To top it all off, Chris has found a way to further explore his artistic mind. Chris captures moments of sailing with paint. Those moments sailing can be found at his Fine Art page!

I’ll ask all of you who read and listen to this a few questions. Can you perform most of your work with a computer, phone, and internet connection? Sure, your coworkers may want to have meetings sometimes. Can you call into a teleconference line, use Skype, or GoToMeeting, or some other video conferencing and screen sharing application? If the answer to these questions is maybe, probably, or yes absolutely, then read The Four Hour Work Week, get out of the office, start telecommuting, and let’s walk you through the steps of creating your own contracting/consulting business that you run from your sailboat!

About Teddy

I am a 37 year old that just wants to find a way to make a remote income, gather some Sail Loot and cruise the world! I have been sailing for a couple of years now, but mostly on 10 day trips as vacationing crew. I just recently took sailing to the next level by completing my Basic Keelboat, Basic Cruising, and Bareboat Cruising Certifications! I am also Vice President of a Medical Consulting Company, have a Mechanical Engineering degree from Georgia Tech, and have taken several Coding, Computing, and Online Business courses. It's time to share what I have learned!
