Shownotes

I learned a lot about boating in the month of July 2017. A few snafus taught me what not to do again. A few victories taught me what to do again. Everything taught me that I really just want to be at/on Asante as much as possible.

Some boat owners hire people to clean and maintain their boats while they’re away. Not this guy.

I return to Asante after being gone for 3-4 weeks and not only are the planned projects waiting for me but so are the ones that pop up because she is sitting there alone for so long. Had I been on Asante when the power cables got stuck under the piling protective fenders I probably could have saved my batteries. I certainly would’ve given her a good scrubbing or two.

Asante is my home and she needs regular cleaning and maintenance just like any other home.

I’m getting to her every weekend now and things are much better. Here is what I had to spend some boat money on in July of 2017.
