This is the page on our site where
we let it all hang out, let it fly, and tell it like it is; or at least like
we say it is. And after 45 years (between us) of offshore sailing and almost as many years of boat
maintenance and refits, we have a lot to say about how we handle and maintain
our boat, how we approach new places and new people, where we choose to travel,
and a whole lot more. We hope you enjoy reading our rants and musings on
cruising as much as we enjoy writing them. |
