just to go sailing one must first navigate a drying muddy creek for 5 miles at the top of the tide,then face 4-5 knot tidal currents,overfalls,bitter cold winds,drying shoals,fog and lots of traffic!
All you high-latitude sailors are nutters anyway. We low-latitude types on the other hand are merely lazy..

Re: So Ya Wanna Be A Cruiser...

Re: So Ya Wanna Be A Cruiser...

Might have to put Denmark on my summer time list... Summer time is the last 2 weeks in July, right?

Good stuff. You need to write part three now that you're in the islands and able to day sail....then again, maybe you shouldn't let out any more "secrets".

You got both parts correct. Been there; done both. Well described.
