What Happens If You Never Clean Your Boat Propeller?

After 6.5 months of not moving, my sailboat’s propeller was nearly useless—forcing me to dive in and clean it by breath-hold. In this video, I take you through the challenges of underwater maintenance, the unpredictable wind of Greece, and deeper thoughts on why most modern sailors motor even with the wind at their back.
This isn’t just about fixing a prop—it’s about reclaiming the journey, understanding nature, and remembering how hard it used to be to go anywhere.
