With the right products and tools, along with a healthy portion of elbow grease, it’s possible to give an older sailboat’s gelcoat a new lease on life.
Costa Rica packs a mighty punch when it comes to ecological diversity. Sailing the country’s Pacific coast is an ideal way to experience the country’s beauty.
While we have easy access to stores and supplies in Mexico, I’m canning like a prepper and dreaming of remote islands.
