8 Essential Christmas gifts for sailors and sailboats! Sailing Q&A 8

It’s about time we talked about #Christmas? Maybe you don’t want to think about it yet, but it’s not too early to start some festive shopping for that #holidayswag. We have some great #holidayshopping ideas for sailors and cruisers over the holiday season.

Everyone loves a bargain! We continue our daily vlogs in which we answer your questions and chat about sailing-related things. In this episode we grab eight items from Esper and talk about how much we use them. They’re all pretty inexpensive. Particularly the last one.
