Turning Your Cruising Dreams Into Reality

This is PART TWO OF THREE
Jeanne Socrates talks about her set up on board, changing an injector underway and preparing for single-handing passages.
She’s been upside-down fixing autopilot and plans for all emergencies.
She asks the pertinent questions in her preparation, “When we turn upside down, what’s going to happen.”
And
“Can you take charge of your vessel if something happens to your partner?”
With manuals for everything, she’s ready for everything, but was she ready to lose her boat… her soulmate?
