Real and Raw: Our Plans Are Ruined (Here's What Is Next For Our Sailboat)

In this episode we face the aftermath of a catamaran breakdown and engine failure while underway, leading to a towboat rescue. Join us on our adventure aboard Thalia as we tackle dinghy engine repair, a propane refill, and a dragging anchor during high winds. Featuring boat repairs on our Prout Snowgoose, and preparing for a drive leg replacement. We share the ups and downs of boat maintenance, DIY sailing repairs, and cruising challenges while living aboard. Plus, we celebrate Michaela's birthday with friends and enjoy the unique moments of sailboat life.
