Warning on Caframo Fans

We don't have enough information yet to determine if our experience with the Caframo 747 fans are just an isolated case that only we have experienced, or whether this is a problem with other fans of the same model. On both our Mariner 40 ketch, Sea Trek and now our Marine Trader...

Friends And Free Docks

One of the benefits of cruising as a couple for over 20 years is the fact that we have met some wonderful people and made many friends for life. Whether traveling by land or sea, we can't travel very far without needing to stop and visit with one of those friends. And Lord help us...

Industry Mourns Marine Magazine Publisher, Skip Allen

The industry mourns the passing of an Icon. Skip Allen gave us our first break by publishing many of our cruising articles in Southern Boating when we first starting cruising as a couple in the early 1990's. Skip's passing is sad news for us and for the marine industry. He will...
