Plan the Cruise

Planning to cruise aboard your boat doesn’t have to be just a dream. The very word planning is the first action toward your goal of cruising. Thinking about what you want to do is essential. Creating the steps required to achieve your final destination gives your dream a foothold in reality. Written steps allow you to see how near or far away your end goal is. So the very act of planning can even be measured. Back in the corporate world we learned that which is measured, is done.

Planning to cruise aboard your boat is something many of us fail to spend enough time on.  Planning includes research, lots of dreaming and sometimes we try to include that terrible S word schedule. Nope. Let schedules stay in the corporate world. We cruisers need to be flexible with our calendars.

It brings to light an important skill that successful cruisers must develop- adaptability. When planning to cruise aboard your boat the skill of adaptability can turn a problem into the best part of the adventure.
