The Reality of Off-Grid Sailing: Trouble in Paradise

This week aboard Stella Overboard, boat life throws a few more problems our way. From discovering the main pin holding our boom to the mast had started working its way out, to watermaker issues, outboard problems, lazy jack repairs, and the never-ending reality of fixing things in remote places… this episode is a pretty accurate look at what cruising life is really like. Luckily, we’ve learned that sailing is mostly about figuring things out with what you have, carrying as many spares as possible, doing a little creative jimmy-rigging, searching the internet, and accepting help from the amazing people you meet along the way. But after everything that breaks on the boat, somehow the biggest disappointment of the week comes when we think we’ve finally hooked a fish… only to pull up something VERY different 😂 We’re also continuing our journey north through Indonesia, getting closer and closer to Malaysia while trying to squeeze in a few more waves before we leave. And make sure you come back next week because I finally catch the fish I’ve been dreaming about 👀🐟 Thanks so much for watching and following along with our sailing adventure.
