Over the past 25 years, I’ve spent more than 6 months in total crisscrossing the world’s seas and oceans. In the process I’ve acquired a boatload (ahem) of experience, with essential tips and recommendations for cruising with multiple sclerosis regardless of disability.

Diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2009 at the age of 39, Rob Munns was struggling to find his footing in his new world that was no longer disease-free. And then he hit the high seas in a most unexpected fashion: on a sailboat manned by MSers. That changed everything.

Every adventure one takes with MS is going to deliver challenges, that’s a given. And some will be bigger than others. When that happens—when that challenge looks more like a mountain than a molehill—you are left with only question: how does one rise to meet such a challenge?

When I was last in Lisbon, Portugal, before navigating the hilly city in my trusty wheelchair I carved out time to make a short video. If I can travel the world, you probably can too. But full disclosure: I couldn’t have done it without a little help from my wife.
