Learning Curves

Well until you spend time living on your boat you don't no what to expect.You think you are prepared and you have been planning it for years. But until you reach the southern climet and see the toll it takes on your boat you can't prepare for that. Sometimes I think we have it easy for the 6 weeks we have at home. In order to keep up, maintenance has to be done every day. Some day's only an hour or days like today 4 hours in a hot engine room. When company comes you do the tourist stuff and the maintenance takes a back sit, when the company leaves you have to get back at it right away. Thank god the Canadian dollar is strong and the cost down here is much less then home. example I had a diver put on a new shaft anode he clean the shaft and rudder for 10.00. Mooring ball every thing included $ 250.00 per month. Even with the maintenance problems I wouldn't give it up, Man its fun,fun,fun.  Well in for a swim to cool off and miller or bud time will follow.
