Our sailboat haul-out turned into the biggest nightmare we've ever faced after unexpected damage, an insurance dispute, and a lightning strike.
What should have been a routine haul-out quickly turned into the biggest ordeal we've ever faced with our boat.
What followed was months of uncertainty, unexpected damage, insurance disputes, and one setback after another. Just when we thought things couldn't get any worse… lightning struck ⚡️
In this episode, we're sharing everything that happened, the challenges of getting our boat repaired, the financial and emotional toll it took, and where things stand now.
If you've been following our journey, thank you for sticking with us through one of the toughest chapters yet. We hope sharing our experience helps other sailors know what to watch out for and reminds you that even when everything seems to be going wrong, you just have to keep moving forward.
