Liveaboard Nightmare: Everything Is Breaking! First Snow Storm (Extended)
In this episode, we continue tackling sailboat repair challenges after breaking down on the ICW. With rebuilding a sail drive leg, a failing generator, and a stubborn dinghy engine, we push through a tough week of liveaboard struggles and cruising challenges. Our plan? A DIY boat repair by beaching the boat for a drive leg swap out instead of hauling out. From an unexpected snow storm to creative problem-solving, this episode is all about resilience and keeping the dream alive aboard, Thalia!
