10 Mar 2018Cooking in a Moving Kitchen00:06:20

Burns and cuts can happen anytime you're cooking. Add in the movement of a boat — even in a calm anchorage, let alone at sea — and the chance of an accident increases.

Some think the risk is greatest for monohull boats with their heeling and roll, but there's risk for multi-hullers, too, with the jerkier motion of waves hitting first one hull and then the other.

Carolyn Shearlock, author of The Boat Galley Cookbook, offers nine specific tips that can help you avoid injuries. With time, they'll become habits!

26 Jan 2018Tips for Buying Galley Gear00:05:01

Outfitting the galley from scratch can be daunting: there’s a lot to buy and you want to buy gear that will work and last for years. But if you’ve never spent much time on a boat, how do you know what’s best?

03 Mar 2025Enter the Discomfort Zone (when moving onto a boat and cruising)00:10:17

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.

13 Jun 2018Weird Wiring Colors00:03:26

If you buy a used boat, someday you’re sure to discover something that the prior owner did that leaves you scratching your head.

For Carolyn Shearlock, it was wiring colors. It seems that if a piece of wire was needed, one was simply grabbed without regard to whether it was the same color as what it was spliced into.

She and her husband didn’t want to get into the time and expense of re-wiring. Here she explains how they made it easier to trace wires and know what was what.
