The Low Density Lifestyle Out at Sea, Part 1

This is the last week for this series on sustainable/green living, and for this last week I have one last 3-part interview.

During this series, I’ve interviewed the actor and environmental activist Ed Begley Jr., and the author of the best-selling book No Impact Man, Colin Beavan.

This week I have an interview with people, although not famous, that have something really great to discuss.

They are Andrea and Karl Matson-Dekay, they are old friends of mine, and I thought it would be cool to hear from them because of the life they are living.

They are living a Low Density Lifestyle out at sea.

out to sea

Andrea and Karl, along with their two boys, Casey, age 16, and Patrick, age 11, have been living on their sailboat for the last 5 years.

They hail from Southern CA, and one day 5 years ago they sold their house, bought a sailboat and set off to sail. For the first 1 1/2 years they actually stayed in California, living in Northern CA.

But for the last 3 1/2 years they’ve been out to sea and primarily living in Mexico.

They live a simple lifestyle and a sustainable one. It’s fascinating to hear of how they do it, and how they got away from the rat race to live, not an alternative lifestyle, but a sane lifestyle.

So listen today to part 1 of the interview, and come back this week for the next two parts. You will be thoroughly inspired to take stock of your life and wonder how you too can live a simple life, a sustainable life, a happy life, and ultimately, a Low Density Life.

You may not do it by setting sail and heading out to sea, but in your way you too can do it.
