Corti Creare
This crescent moon-shaped tiny island is located off Carriacou, an island in the Grenadines. There's nothing on it but white sand, luscious palm trees, colorful rocks, and hermit crabs! Sandy Island has been a favorite of ours for years. Every morning, Simon and I dinghy to the island, walk the beach seven times (to close my iPhone fitness circle), and then wade in the perfect cooling sea waters. During our walk, I must say 100 times, 'Oh my gosh, it is so beautiful here!' Each time I realize the beauty, my body fills with gratitude, and I thank my lucky stars that I decided to become a sailing cruiser! #sailingexperience #sailinglife #sailingadventure #short
The "reputable" shop estimate for Buster the Bus just keeps getting crazier. Today, we’re talking about the brakes on my 1973 VW Westfalia. The quote for a brake booster alone was a staggering $3,800. Instead of writing that check, I rolled up my sleeves (and did a lot of part-hunting). I managed to do the entire brake system—not just the booster—for only $267. I’m 60 years old, I’m learning as I go, and I’m proving that owning a vintage VW doesn't have to break the bank if you’re willing to do the research yourself. In this video, I’m breaking down the cost difference and why it’s so important to get a second opinion (or just do it yourself!). What’s in this video: The breakdown of the $3,800 brake estimate. How I sourced parts for the entire system for under $300. Encouragement for fellow Westy owners to take control of their repairs. #VWBus #1973Westfalia #BrakeBooster #BudgetRestoration #BusterTheBus #WomenWhoRepair #VWType2 #AircooledVW #DIYBrakes
