Re: The Best thing you added to the boat under $25

Love that collapsible tea kettle- have not seen that. We do have the Luci light though- it's a great idea.

Re: Pirate attack Phillipines ?

Daletournier thank you for your comments about the area. I was really looking forward to seeing the Philippines one day. But I fear these things just seem to get worse, not better. So by the time we...

Re: What's your boats name?

This has been a fun read. So many interesting boat names. Our boat was previously named Safannah.

Re: Buy a "new" old boat or an "old" old boat??

Agree with the others. And windward princess- that is so funny you say that, as we had that exact same experience when we bought our 1976 Downeaster- the owner kept referring to so many "brand new"...

Re: Intro/5 year plan

Sounds like a great plan! We are on what I call the "2 year- hopefully 1 year" plan ourselves. Once you get a boat, you will really start to feel the excitement. Best of luck!
