Re: Westbrook, CT to Martha's Vineyard

Re: Engine driven Frige Yes/No

We coastal cruise for a few weeks at a time and find the engine driven system to be wonderful. It's only not so great when we are at a dock but the number of times we stay more than 12 hours or so...

Re: Help Me Look for a Boat, Please

I wouldn't worry as much about the separate space for each child since really, they don't need it. Kids through the ages have done really well sharing spaces and when they get to college, when they...
