Ask any cruiser and they'll tell you, "The first year is the hardest."

It sure was for Dave and I. Every single thing we did, it seemed, we were doing for the first time.

Practically nothing was the same as living on land, and we were still learning our boat, too.

Other cruisers stepped in to help us, to encourage us and convince us we'd done the right thing. Here's my stab at paying it forward.

Buying Boat Gear

It's hard to know what will work on the boat; reviews just don't talk about how things function or hold up in our world. Take a little of the guesswork out of buying boat gear by looking at products that have worked well for me.

Cooking on a Boat

Cooking on a boat just isn't quite the same as cooking ashore. And if you didn't really like to cook ashore, having to cook more often on the boat can also be a big change.

Cooking on a Boat

Let's face it: cooking just isn't the same when you're cruising. Less space, few or no electrical appliances, making do with what's on hand and either a small or non-existent refrigerator are just a few of the challenges.
