Have not read the whole tale yet, but from the first few chapters
it seems that they installed an underwater thruhole with the boat in the water......
Wonder if that could be part of the delamination problemes they had later on.?
(If indeed the hulls are cored)
Read the story about how they were chasing around Key Biscayne trying to find a Taco Bell and an internet connection.
Since thy found neither, they were greatly disappointed about the Key..
Wonder if that stuff is said "Tongue in Cheek" as it seems pretty strange that somebody would choose the cruising lifestyle and still expect the world to be like donwtown Chicago.?
I can relate to the inexperience as I also sold everything at age 29 and moved abord my first boat, never having sailed before,
yet I had a blast for 3 years cruising the Virgin Islands with no modern conveniences. (No a/c, no autopilot, no microwave, no SSB, no GPS, no roller furling, no windass, no TV, etc)
The problems this young couple are experiencing may be more related to attitude and ignorance than lack of experience.
On the other hand, If I was to write a blog or web-page on all the mistakes I did, I would look pretty silly as well.
Mum is the word.....
