D Log 297 5 Cruising Myths That Need Throwing Overboard!

⛵ Cruising is full of myths... but how many of them are actually true? If you've spent any time around marinas, sailing forums, Facebook groups, or cruising YouTube channels, you've probably heard plenty of advice about life afloat. "You need a huge boat." "You have to be rich." "Everything breaks all the time." "You must cross an ocean to be a real cruiser." But how much of it is fact, and how much is simply sailing folklore? In this episode of D-Log 297, Carl takes a look at some of the most common cruising myths that continue to circulate through the sailing community and explains why many of them simply aren't true. Whether you're dreaming of casting off the lines one day or you're already living the cruising life, this video may challenge some of the assumptions you've heard over the years. In this video: ⛵ Do you really need a big boat? 💰 Is cruising only for wealthy people? 🌊 Do you need to cross oceans to be a "real" cruiser? ⚓ Is anchoring always free? Plus Carl shares observations from years of cruising and living aboard Dream in the Mediterranean. Have you heard any cruising myths that drive you mad?
