Here's a question to you all: WHAT IS HONESTLY THE LONGEST YOU HAVE CRUISED WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS? All cruisers that I chat to are always fixing something, waiting for a part or just waiting for something to break. One guy told me that cruising is 95% work and 5% fun!!! Not too long ago I cruised for a WHOLE WEEK without anything being wrong. But then the watermaker started to make a funny fuweeeeep sound, followed soon by falling oil pressure on one engine (so something WAS wrong after all). The more you cruise I suppose the less stressed out you get, because you know: SOMETHING will always be wrong, hahaha, the sooner you fix one thing, the sooner something else spits the dummy. DOES ANYONE HAVE MAGIC BOAT WHERE NOTHING EVER GOES WRONG??? Lets see who has the most magic boat (or looks after it the best anyway). This obviously applies to those who are actually cruising their boats.
