Category: Fears and Doubts

Fears and Doubts is where my early anxieties seem to gather — from wondering how I would cope with everyday tasks like laundry afloat to confronting larger fears such as piracy.

Mooring a sail boat: Is it a relationship builder?

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.
