Re: Where to post my question

Ansley,

I struck a rock with my boat. Water got into the salon, but we didn't sink, no one was hurt, and she's now on the hard. I'm considering my options going forward. One is to take the check from the...

Re: First Bareboat Charter - Upper Chesapeake

I don't have much experience with bareboat chartering. I did it once on Tampa Bay. While the charter company didn't have me do a check ride with one of their crew, they did do a very thorough...

Re: Where to keep the boat? Mid-Atlantic

I would recommend our marina, Worton Creek Marina in Chestertown, MD. The Bay is a great place for sailing, though you do need to keep an eye out for the crab traps. Worton Creek is a hurricane hole...

Re: Sailboat under sail versus parasailor?

I'm curious as to how you'd go about finding out who the insuring company is. I've run across more than a few people on the Chesapeake who either don't know the regulations or don't care.

Re: When is it too late to start living the dream?

It's too late the second after you've drawn your last breath. Is the clock ticking? Yes! Will you have enough time to learn what you need to cruise the world? That is known but to God. Get moving.
