Welcome to The Rookie Captain!
Ahoy there, friends!
I’m about to take you on a journey unlike any other. Imagine this: I’m a first-time boat owner with absolutely no experience, and I’ve just picked up a 33‑foot Chris Craft cruiser – for free! Sounds crazy, right? This beauty is a fixer‑upper that needs tons of work, and I’m diving headfirst into the world of boating without a map (or a clue!).
If you’re into underdog stories, quirky DIY projects, and all sorts of nautical misadventures, you’re in the right place. I’ll be sharing boat restoration tips, tackling daunting repairs, and of course celebrating every little victory along the way. And hey, while I learn all about the high seas, I’m also navigating some personal health challenges, including type 1 diabetes and high blood pressure. So, this journey isn’t just about fixing an old cruiser—it’s about chasing dreams and overcoming hurdles together.
I encourage you to dive into the conversation: drop your tips, advice, or even share a laugh as I make my way from rookie to captain. And if you’re just along for the ride, hit subscribe so you never miss an update. All hands on deck—this is The Rookie Captain setting sail!
