Re: WANTED: Sailing Expertise & Mentorship

Hi Adam, you've got a lot of good ideas here.

My husband and I draw from our 8+ years / 50,000+ miles of cruising around the world to mentor people and help them get "out there" too.

Re: When Good Waves Go Rogue

Pelagic- other half of svTOTEM here. That was still south of Jomard, not towards near Conflicts...we weren't inside yet. I suspect the rapid change in depth was a factor, since it goes from thousands...

Re: want to go offshore but

Hi Andy,

I think it’s healthy to have fears. They’re not unrealistic, and things we all have to deal with, but they aren’t insurmountable either. You can absolutely realize your dream, in that...

Re: What is the ideal sailboat for ocean cruising?

Ann Cate is spot on. I'll say: there is no ideal. Most importantly, even with unlimited resources: EVERY boat is a compromise. Anyone who claims an "ideal" boat is naive or... well, I'll just stop...

Re: Question about buying a used boat

It happens, and has the possibility to be a great arrangement if it works, and helps reach a sale, because, well, everybody wins, right? If the broker (or owner) is reluctant, perhaps that's a good...

Re: Palawan Island, the Philippines

It's true- you can't go everywhere! We're on the "take it slow" path too.

Re: cairns to indonesia
