Welcome to
Attainable Adventure Cruising, the
website for offshore cruising sailors who want to
get off the beaten path to remote places of
unspoiled natural beauty.
Attainable adventure
cruising
is not about feats of derring-do; rather, this site is about gear and
techniques that have let us, who are not
particularly intrepid, cruise some of the world's
more remote and challenging places without
exceeding our capabilities.
For us, attainable
adventure cruising has often meant
expedition voyages to the Arctic, but it has also
meant a snug harbour in Down East Maine or a
remote cove on the coast of Norway. It is our
hope that whatever an attainable adventure cruise
is to you, the information here will help you
attain it.
We
publish this site to share some of what we have
learned in 100,000
 miles of offshore sailing
and 16 years of sailing in the high latitudes of
the North Atlantic and the adjoining Arctic
waters. Visit our
Blog,
and read our
Techniques & tips,
Stuff that works, and
Gear
failures & fixes pages.
In
addition to technical information on sailboats and
sailing, our site is crammed with
information on our favorite sailing grounds of
Newfoundland
& Labrador,
Greenland,
Iceland,
Norway,
Svalbard
(Spitsbergen), and the islands in between.
