Re: Rebel Heart's Contribution to the Cruising Community

The above that I put in bold font is something I would plan to do if I ever return to cruising with the intention of crossing an ocean. I call it the Laura Dekker method of dialing into your boat. As...

Re: Rebel Heart's Contribution to the Cruising Community

I'm still supportive no matter what she decides. I was just saying for that first post there were a lot of members that weren't supportive. I was then as I still am now.

Re: Rebel Heart's Contribution to the Cruising Community
