Kelly fixing our outboard
“If you can’t find him cute, at least find him handy.”This is a phrase I heard from my seventy year old friend, Don. Every time he’d say this, his smile would be wide and toothy.
When it comes to my husband, I feel I got both. He’s a cute handyman. Luckily for me he knows how to fix the many gizmos that would break on our boat. Sometimes I would be the one doing the damage. In a single day I broke a few to many items. I decided not to confess to one of them-stopping up the head (toilet).
So if you want to cruise on a boat, I would recommend having a handy partner go with you. There will be times the trusty equipment you purchased will fail. It may be something you can live without or a key role in getting from place to place.
So you may be surprised to find yourselves looking for boat parts and new equipment instead of watching the sunset in a beautiful location. But even though there may be many repairs needed to keep your vessel going, it is usually done in spectacular locations.
