Maintenance log
This page is dedicated to my sons who fondly imagine their father finally putting his feet up and relaxing as he sails around the world – WRONG! Cruising is about breaking your boat on passage and then spending your time and money getting hot, sweaty and grumpy mending her in exotic locations when you should be out enjoying your dotage!
If in doubt give it a clout (JES)
What follows is a litany of when and where, what was added, mended, adjusted or just beaten into submission to get it working again. It is by no means an exhaustive record just exhausting for the old boy. So aspiring blue water sailors take note, if you think this wont happen to you think again; What will you do all day? Cruisers and anoraks alike, if you can stay awake read on, and remember, it’s not a holiday, it’s an adventure!
So here come the stats and yes, I am sorry to say that, at the last count, I spent around 8% of my days so far doing stuff to keep the boat afloat. However, to put it another way I spent 92% of my days doing what I want. Good enough eh?
