Check out Deb and TJ's cruising blog, The Retirement Project, with a lot of great tips.

Pick up a copy of their book, How Not to Buy a Cruising Boat, it has great information on how to avoid a lot of the common mistakes when buying a boat.

Our Patreon supports receive a bonus section of the interview where Deb and TJ review equipment they thought they needed but really did not need when they were starting to cruising and equipment they wished they had from the start.  They also talk about their favorite items they use while cruising.
