How to Make Cruising More Pleasurable

Cruising offers many challenges. But it shouldn't feel like a slog. And if it does, maybe a few simple changes will make it more pleasurable. 

Summary

All beginning cruisers look forward to the best part of the lifestyle. But living on a boat is also a challenge. The difference between having fun and a slog can be a few specific changes. Based on seventeen years of living aboard, I recommend the following:

1. Get good rest. Comfortable bedding, good ground tackle, and the ability to stay cool will all contribute to a restful night's sleep.
2. Have enough power so you can meet your needs and not feel restricted.
3. Have reliable internet so you can be as connected as you want to be.
4. Make meal prep easier by investing in quality equipment.
5. Agree on standard operating procedures. Automatic habits are easier than reconsidering every move.
6. Divide labor fairly. Everyone needs to contribute.
7. Make sure that every crew member's needs are met.
8. Spend time in your cruising community.

Focusing on these goals will ensure cruising stays fun. To learn more, listen to the complete podcast or, if you prefer to read, check out Make Cruising More Enjoyable - Here's How (https://theboatgalley.com/make-cruising-more-enjoyable-heres-how/).
