Cruising isn't all beaches and umbrella drinks. It's not as simple as "buy a boat and leave the dock to circle the globe."

It takes preparation, both mental and physical.

It takes a leap of faith, and a few stumbling blocks along the way.

I'm all about helping you decide if this lifestyle is for you, and then helping you confidently sail away from the shore.

Won't you step aboard?

Ever wondered what is involved with this "sailing off into the sunset" lifestyle? (It's called cruising!) Is it all beaches and umbrella drinks? What questions might you want to be asking? In this course you'll hear about

• boat and budget
• weather
• maintenance
• minimalism
• healthy lifestyle - or not?
• daily life

This course is designed to get you thinking about the behind-the-scenes of life on a boat - and helping you see if cruising might be right for you! 

Worried about how you'll feed your crew on your upcoming cruise? Stressing out about how much to buy, what to cook, how to manage it all? This FREE guide will help you take a deep breath, answer these 4 questions, and be prepared to be amazed at how easy it all is. You totally can do this!

You're on land, with a huge refrigerator (maybe even 2, if you've got a garage fridge). And you're about to head off on a boat that has a TINY fridge (or even no fridge at all.) Are you doomed to eat canned glop for the rest of your life?

Never fear. Carolyn Shearlock, of The Boat Galley website (and my podcast partner!) has written another winner of a book with this one.

Best of all? You buy it and it's yours immediately, no muss and no fuss.

No bookshelf space required.

Now you know you're headed off cruising. What do you do with all that STUFF? It's everywhere - and there's no way even part of it will fit on the boat. HELP ME!

Here's a step-by-step guide to downsizing, from identifying why we have all that stuff to deciding what to keep (room by room, even!) to selling it. There's even a module on how to declutter your digital life - as important as figuring out how to get rid of the growing pile under the bathroom sink.

Why spend money on learning how to downsize?

1. Having someone tell you how to go about it is immensely freeing. It's like they're giving you permission to say goodbye.

2. The tips on how to sell will likely more than pay for the cost of the course.

Sure, you can do it on your own. Doing it this way will save you time, angst, worry, and maybe even earn you a few bucks for the cruising kitty.

Passage planning and weather routing, in a simple-to-use, easy-to-implement package. Start with the passage basics (where you're leaving from, where you want to go), add in rudimentary boat parameters (length at waterline and tacking angle), and away you go. FastSeas is the perfect addition to your on-board passage resources.

A little distraction. Dream fodder. Whatever you like!
