Category: Project Management

Project Management takes us into the world of spreadsheets, research, purchasing decisions, expectations, and timelines — all aimed at prioritizing work efficiently and maximizing our time back on the water when seasonal weather favors passage-making. Sometimes this category puts the gloss on the reality which is life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans.

Planning and budgeting for sail boat refits

Welcome to Becoming A Sailor. I've written more than 250 posts about our travels on our St Francis 50 catamaran. We have been sailing since 2015, and our four kids have grown up on our sailboat. This is not a sailing log. Instead, it's an immersive record of a life afloat. I write to recreate the moment, whether we're standing on a volcano or cleaning our boat bottom.
