In episode two, Andrea and Logan get a taste of some of the challenges of the boat buying process. BUT, they are also reminded that life doesn't start when you buy a boat, so it's time to enjoy what you have where you are now. A gentle warning to never s...

The time is upon us to find our next cruising sailboat. We've got about 6 months until the next cruising season kicks off, so we need to track down the boat, buy it, and get it set up for cruising ASAP. We've got our work cut out for us and not a lot of ti...
