Sailing, maintenance and repair

Cruising (travelling for a longer time on a boat) often consist of more than peaceful and beautiful anchorages or docking in interesting ports. Sailboats have one thing in common, they break down. The wear and tear is enormous. Constant movement, salt, wind, sand, wetness, uv light. Its not only a vehicle, it is also. a home . And more than that, a small society since it has to cover many functions, since you may often travel away from civilization.
So things break down. And there is always a list of things that need repair, and spare parts to find.
This episode also includes the deck hand knot test: double hitch - bowmans knot - double hitch around ones own part.
