What passes for justice with wealthy drug dealers, somewhat depressing news from the Bahamas, and something for the last day of the official 2020 hurricane season...
Over the weekend I checked out a lot of the "Hey, we're buying a boat and thought you'd be interested in watching us spend lots of money turning it into the perfect cruising boat" YouTube fodder. Which was, for lack of a better term, depressing.
For starters, I always find folks throwing money at things generally off-putting. More so when they're throwing money around to fix or replace things that don't actually need fixing or replacing.
Of course, most of my thoughts on rehabbing a boat tend to focus on getting rid of most of the superfluous bits and pieces masquerading as indispensable requirements.
Anyway, it did get my thought process focused on the idea that anyone who's building, rehabbing, or outfitting a cruising boat really needs a plan and a firm budget going into such a project as well as the fortitude to stick to that plan and budget to avoid the dreaded mission creep.
More on the subject of mission creep soonish...

So it goes...
