Moving Onboard...No Going Back Now! ??
? In This Episode: In the last episode, I unexpectedly bought a 1989 Catalina 36 and moved onboard. This time, we dive into every nook and cranny of our new home, discovering mystery liquids, broken hoses, and a whole lot of things to add to the never-ending boat "to-do list." Plus, we go sailing in Banderas Bay with our dock neighbors and friends for the first time! ? ?? Highlights: Unpacking & Organizing: Moving aboard with minimal household goods and luggage was overwhelming. We had to tame the chaos by inventorying every locker and crawlspace. Dad's Handwritten Notebooks: Luckily, my Dad meticulously documented every locker's inventory, helping us navigate the overwhelming task. Mystery Liquid Discovery: Petra found a pool of engine coolant in a nearly inaccessible locker, leading to a surprising fix. Broken Bilge Pump Hose: Petra's keen eye saved us from potential disaster by spotting a crack in the manual bilge pump hose. Sailing Adventure: Our dock neighbor invited us to test out his new sails on Banderas Bay, giving us a refreshing break from boat projects. ? Newbie Cruisers in Mexico: Join us as we learn the ropes of living and working onboard, making the most of our new life in Mexico. ? From Unpacking to #Sailing: Though moving aboard was overwhelming, we embraced the challenge. With Dad's detailed notes, we organized the boat and discovered hidden problems.
