Boat Knowledge

So much to learn, so little time. - Boat knowledge can be acquired by reading, watching videos, taking classes, and talking to (or emailing) adventurers that have done or are doing it now. So use your list and start getting the knowledge you need. You will never know it all and even after you have adventured for years you will still be learning new things as well as tips and tricks about the things you know. And speaking of tips, always be willing to share what you know with others it is a sure way to get others to share with you. Its kinda the way boaters do things. You help me I help you.​ As you read, add to your list, create links and spread sheets of new things that you need to learn about. Like I said before this just keeps going on the more you learn the more you realize the things you don't know.

So what do you need to know? I am assuming ocean cruising, so some topics may not apply to your adventure. Most of the following items you can learn about now, even if you don't have a boat. 
Articles
Books
Remember these links are just to get you started, there is so much more on each of these topics. It is part of your adventure to prepare and how you prepare will have a significant effect on the success of your adventure. So start preparing for your adventure.
