Along the way we also share: ⚓ Practical tips for budget sailing and cruising 💸 Honest breakdowns of what things actually cost 🔧 DIY repairs, upgrades, and lessons learned 🌊 Life at sea and along the coast of Baja California and beyond Subscribe and join the Mystic Crew! #liveaboardsailing #sailingcouple #sailboatlife #budgetsailing #liveaboard
