48. Working on the sailing dream one bulkhead at a time

About this episode

Part cautionary tale, part motivation to keep going — this is the story of buying a boat that just needed a little work… or so David Shih thought. What was meant to be a 4–6 week bulkhead repair turned into 6 months, then almost a year.

In this episode, David shares what really happened, what he learned during the refit grind, and how he kept moving forward when the dream felt far away. If you're planning to buy a boat that “only needs a bit of work,” listen to this first!
