No small jobs!

People say there are no Small jobs on a boat. Yes they are right, I had to learn that in a hard way and I payed the price for it. I put it in my mind to get out from the hard as soon as possible and get back to Belize. It was a big mistake! I finished the boat approximately two months. Too fast job is not a good job. I cut a lot of corners, missed some spot,  tried to save some money. Later I payed that price, double work and double money. I had to learn and now I remember "There are no small job on a boat". When first I looked at her I never even know where to start. So I just grab a sanding machine and started to work. I did as I could. I wish that I had learn about this jobs before I started. After two months the "Mira" was ready outside. As I never ever had a diesel engine I had know nothing about it. So I asked the marina to fix it up for me. I payed for it but unfortunately the job was never done. I didn't know that time I had to find out on the way home. Since than I don't trust nobody with my engine I learned how to fix it and so far its working perfect.  Pretty much when you purchase a boat you sign an agreement with her that you will work on her all the time. The job never ending. If somebody says, I have nothing to do on my boat its a lie! There is always something to do, painting, varnishing, fixing engine, etc... and all this comes not just time but money and more money. That is the thing what no seller will tell you. As soon we realized this we had to came up with something. That is when we decided we will make money with the boat. That is also a fact that you never can really make money with a boat.  This would question me if I don't make money why do we have a boat and why do we do it? We make something way more valuable than money, memories!
