Another exclusive article for the Dockwa Blog.
Intro from the blog:
Captain Maria Langer has logged more than 10,000 nautical miles aboard her boat, navigating the highs, lows, and unexpected detours of life on the water. A seasoned cruiser and author with a talent for storytelling, Maria doesn’t just romanticize the cruising lifestyle, she tells it like it is. In this candid and practical piece, she peels back the glossy layers of long-term cruising to reveal the everyday realities that come with living aboard. From laundry runs to bilge pump malfunctions, Maria shares the parts no one puts on postcards, but every cruiser should be prepared for. Whether you’re dreaming about your first Great Loop or already elbows-deep in maintenance projects, we highly recommend giving this one a read!
Good article. Concise and specific.
Thanks! I’m trying hard to keep things short these days.
Great article! It really gives a person the real heads-up on what you can expect when cruising, be it just out for fun or making the Great Loop. I enjoyed reading this article and look forward to reading more.
Thanks very much! And I need the encouragement to write more. I’ve been slacking off lately.
