Re: World cruising boat for a couple, 2 dogs under 180k USD?

$180k is enough to buy a nice 50 footer.... But also enough to buy a higher than average heap of pain ($$$).

Caveat Emptor!

Re: Shoestring Sailors (Cruising on $500 per month - part II)

And also the minor detail of being a thankless time consuming PITA to actually do....especially given that folk never wrote their posts with a split in mind.

IMO, the value from a thread such as...

Re: Handgun onboard on ICW

At a wild guess.....how about finding out from each State direct you are visiting what their laws are. And following them.

Re: Something for us all to think about

Re: Options for water in deck's balsa core
