I realized the other day that I should probably change the name of this blog to reflect this blog post’s title because at this point, learning to sail without spending any money is really what I’m focused on.

There are a lot of ways to go about it actually. People, myself included, have the mistaken notion that you need a lot of money to sail. Happily, I’m discovering that’s not necessarily true. I’m benefiting from the knowledge of seasoned sailors, using a little imagination and having the ‘ovum’ to pick up the phone and say, “yes!”

Here's some links to pages giving information or discussing how to live without having the convenience of a refrigerator. I know...scary thought for a lot of us.

I'm thinking about it because I know I want to keep my electric needs low and from what I've read, on a boat it's the fridge that pulls the most electricity.

I'm SO excited to find this book online...for free!

Alright, maybe you already knew it was there and have your copy =p
I'm happy for you but you didn't tell me about it!

I'm talking about The Ashley Book of Knots.

One of the most important aspects of living on a boat for me is living as self sufficiently as possible.
