S1, Ep9 Time for Boat Projects on the Mystic
In this episode of Sailing into the Mystic, we dive into a couple of essential boat projects needed to prepare our sailboat for the next chapter of our lives. As a sailing couple nearing retirement, we're embracing this transition by tackling upgrades, maintenance, and improvements that bring us closer to our dream of full-time life on the water. Join us in this episode as we share step-by-step insights into our boat projects of replacing the rudder seals and brand new sails.

We are two retiring educators, parents and grandparents, looking to change our fast paced life to a slower rhythm more aligned with the ocean, sailing and nature. Follow us on our sailing channel as we prepare our sailboat and ourselves for the next chapter in our lives.
