fighting to keep the my dream alive!

If this is what it takes… am I really ready to keep going? I’ve been spending day after day in the boat yard, grinding, sanding, and peeling away years of old paint from the aluminum hull of my sailboat. What started as a necessary step for welding and a fresh paint job has become something deeper — a test of grit, patience, and just how far I’m willing to go to keep this sailing dream alive. This isn’t the glamorous side of boat life. It’s boat yard work at its most tedious. It’s sailboat refit reality, where you question everything while covered in dust. In this episode, I’m battling both the endless sanding and my own motivation — finding strange little ways to push through the monotony and stay connected to the bigger picture. If you’ve ever chased a dream that demanded more than you expected… this one’s for you.

Facing the challenges of solo sailing as a female sailor, I navigated the highs and lows of single-handed sailing while tackling DIY boat repair projects, from engine fixes to full boat refits on a budget. My life aboard was a mix of adventure and reflection, shaping an independent woman’s story of resilience, personal growth, and embracing the sailing lifestyle.
