Re: "Reality" Youtube Sailing Channels

I do watch Mads' channel Sail Life, mostly for the attention to detail & humor he puts into all that work. It might be he was easing his new bride into the longer passages. By the way, Marinetraffic...

Re: DoD/CaC/MWR users reports

Thank you for yours as well. I was sorting thru my nav station today and found some more contact info that may be useful. I can't really scan it so I'll just post pics. 273895273896

Re: Want to go Privateering?

I think the owner sheltered donated that to a charitable foundation. I think you'd have to be issued your Letter of Marque & Reprisal from the Queen?

Re: Live aboard boat / Dog
