BREAKDOWN in the Boatyard Ep 101

Even though we get pretty stressed while doing boat work, we dealt with a lot more anxiety BEFORE becoming Bums.

I bet your therapist wouldn’t recommend becoming a bum on a boat… but it helped us to put our lives into a different perspective and gain some gratitude.

Still, nothing really changes until you do.
