Are you really constantly repairing your boat when you cruise? That’s a big question for those thinking about the life, especially as so many people make jokes about “cruising is just fixing your boat in exotic places.”
To answer that question, we listed every single repair — large and small — that we did while on a 4-month cruise through the Bahamas. Only one actually delayed us; another one could have caused more problems than it did. But most of them? Easily fixed or worked around.
Listen in to hear them all and what we did.

Thank you so much! And preparing to cruise IS part of the adventure, so those next 130 weeks are actually part of it all!
