Skills required for long term sailing.
Posted: Wed Jan 18, 2017 6:58 am
Post FI. One of my ideas is to go sailing for 6 months or so.
What skills will I need and what are cost effective ways to get them??
My ideas so far. Skills required and how to acquire for a more reasonable sum.
1. Sailing (obviously) - go crewing.
2. Navigation - helping with moving boats for rich people.
3. Advanced first aid, power boat, general disaster mindset- volunteer with State Emergency Services.
4. Electrical - ???
5. Engine/mechanical - ???
6. Long term food preservation - internet and practice at home.
7. Cooking without refrigeration - fairly straight forward.
8. Home schooling - 6 months of travel is probably a good education in itself.
Anything missing?? Any other ideas, links, people who have done anything similar.
