Did you know that the full moon always rises at sunset?  Have you ever seen the Milky Way in all its breath-taking glory?
One of the very best things about living on board a boat is that it gives you unlimited opportunities to observe the night sky.  And that is especially true if your passage takes you far from shore at night.
To Carolyn Shearlock, star-gazing is a privilege and a daily pleasure – one enjoyed by only a small percentage of modern-day humans, who are prevented from doing so by urban light pollution.

When is ‘doing it yourself’ the best option? Carolyn Shearlock and husband Dave are a pretty handy pair, wielding everything from paintbrushes to a monkey wrench. But that doesn’t mean they’re expert boat mechanics and it certainly doesn’t mean they’re as quick as the pros when it comes to fixing a problem. Added to that, there are some jobs that even the most gifted amateur should leave to the experts. However, often the good professionals have a busy schedule and just as frequently they come with a hefty price tag. So how do you decide when it’s best to DIY?
