Check this ASAP When Your Boat hits the Water

The second a boat touches the water, I check the bilge before I trust anything below the waterline. Then the engines go on and I walk straight to the stern to confirm cooling water is pumping out. Two checks, every single time, before the bow ever points offshore. 📗 Get My Book:

We Lifted a Sailboat off of a Cargo Ship!

The Paperwork You Actually Need to Cruise Europe

Carry a VHF radio operator's license, because you won't always know what a country requires, and remember your boat's flag state sets your licensing rules, not the country you're visiting. Keep your ducks in a row so a boarding never turns into a problem. 📗 Get My Book:

You Can’t Learn Sailing From a Book

Books get your knowledge up on the things you haven't hit yet, storm tactics, different rigs, the stuff you need before you need it. But knowing when a boat is overpowered, the feeling that wakes you out of a dead sleep, only comes from time at the helm. 📗 Get My Book:

Dehydration is Deadly Offshore

Dehydration is Deadly Offshore

Hydration is the part of seasickness people underestimate, and it's the part that actually kills. One captain ended up having to scuttle his boat after the Navy had to rescue his dehydrated daughter during a passage down the coast of Chile. 📗 Get My Book:

This is Why You Get Seasick

Seasickness is your body trying to purge a poison that was never there, triggered when your eyes, inner ear, and muscles stop agreeing on what's happening. Knowing the cause won't settle your stomach, but it tells you exactly what to fix. 📗 Get My Book:

Don’t Touch Your Keel Bolts!

On a well-built offshore boat, keel bolts are torqued at the factory and designed never to be touched. Production boats are a different story, but if you're on a Valiant or an Oyster...leave them alone. 📗 Get My Book:
