How I Found My Love for Cruising Again

How I Found My Love for Cruising Again

Somewhere between the boat projects, the repairs, and the never-ending to-do list, I lost the plot a little. Not the dream — the dream was always there. Just buried under a whole lot of maintenance mode. And then one perfect day on the water, it all came rushing back.

The to-do list is loud. The water is louder.

Living on a boat means there is always something. Another fix, another upgrade, another thing demanding your attention before you can breathe. I had been deep in it for a while. And somewhere in the middle of all that, I forgot why I actually chose this life.

That happens easier than you'd think. Cruising is supposed to be freedom, adventure, spontaneity, and a little bit of wild. But when the chores take over, it stops feeling like living and starts feeling like managing.

The day I remembered

Hot bikini. Actually, no bikini. Sunshine. Open cockpit. Zero apologies.

I was dancing around, being completely playful and free, keeping the captain very entertained — and honestly? That one afternoon reset everything. Check out the video from that moment here.

It wasn't about the outfit. It was about that feeling. That unfiltered, uninhibited, completely-myself energy that only seems to show up when I stop overthinking and just let the day be good. That is the whole point of this life.

Freedom isn't a bonus. It's the whole thing.

Out here I get to move how I want, wear as little as I want, dance on the bow, tease the captain, and feel completely at home in my own skin. Sometimes that's a bikini. Sometimes it's a one-piece when there's holiday boat traffic everywhere. And sometimes it's nothing at all because the moment calls for it and the setting is just too perfect. The real joy is fewer rules and more aliveness.

Playfulness is seriously underrated

Not everything has to be productive. Not every minute needs a purpose.

Sometimes the best thing you can do is flirt a little, shake your Booty a little, flash a little, and remind yourself that this whole gorgeous life is supposed to be fun. That energy doesn't just lift the mood — it brings you back to yourself.

One good day changes everything

I didn't need a big breakthrough. I just needed one beautiful, freeing, ridiculously fun day on the water to remember what had gotten buried under all the work. Turns out a hot bikini helps...

But really, it's simpler than that — stop treating the boat like a project and start treating it like the vessel for the life you actually want.

Sun-soaked, barefoot, half-dressed, dancing in the cockpit, feeling sexy and free and completely myself.

That's the cruising life worth protecting.

And now that feeling is back — so it looks like I'm off to some pretty amazing places. 🌺 But IF you're into those hot little bikinis then I would seriously consider subscribing to the server or checking out this video on Vimeo.😉 Brittany
