Stranded at Sea: Stateless and Restricted

The podcast episode shares the harrowing story of a family who found themselves stranded at sea on their catamaran during the pandemic. Australia closed its borders to citizens, leaving the family essentially stateless. They faced numerous challenges, including being prohibited from leaving their boat, enduring lockdowns on foreign islands, and dealing with the loss of freedom to transact due to expired bank cards and restricted access to their Australian accounts. Despite the hardships, they also experienced incredible family moments, exploring remote islands, wildlife spotting, and enjoying the tranquility of the Caribbean.
