Moving onto a boat is one thing. Starting to cruise is another. And both have steep learning curves. Nica and Carolyn suggest tips for getting out of your comfort zone when making these big life changes.

Summary

Moving onto a boat and beginning cruising has a steep learning curve. It's not just beaches and cocktails. The challenges of living on a boat include adapting to small spaces, difficult storage options, lack of climate control, and providing your own electricity and water.

So how do you cope?

  • Admit that you feel uncomfortable
  • Find support from others
  • Break learning into small steps by figuring out living on a boat in a marina before setting off

One piece of advice from fellow cruiser and Boat Galley team member Katherine Gonzalez is to consider which of your land-based talents will benefit you in the new setting aboard.

By breaking the learning into manageable steps and relying on the great cruising community, you'll enlarge your comfort zone in no time.
