226. The Cruising Life: $afety $tuff $ucks By Trish Lambert
     I feel a rant coming on. This is one of those things that makes me pound my fists and drum my heels, but that I have no choice about. Which makes it even more frustrating.I was immersed in the subject of cruising gear while writing my third booklet in the Take Her Sailing Cruising Series. I had just finished writing about life rafts, man/crew overboard systems, and EPIRBs, all the while reflecting on how expensive it is to fit out with stuff you hope you'll never use. As if telepathic, Skip pi…

229. Boat Detailing - Stainless and Chrome Cleaning By Lance Winslow
     Good quality deck hardware of stainless steel or chrome is highly resistant to corrosion and the marine environment, but it still needs some maintenance if you want to keep it looking good. Make sure you offer this service if you notice small streaks of surface corrosion due to oxidation of the fasteners. This type of corrosion can be easily removed with a good metal polish. After you are done, protect it with a light coat of marine wax or a light coat of moisture displacing corrosion resistan…



230. Global Adventure Tourists Making The Best Of Their Tropical Trail, With Asian Cruises and Yachting! By Lopa Bhattacharya
     Indeed, a lot has been said in literature about the mysteries of the sea. While Henry Longfellow has discovered its weird ways as "...foreshadowing and foreseeing/of things beyond our reason or control" ("The Sound of the Sea"), isn't it a mystery that the nautical world, especially that of the east, continues to enthrall tourists across the globe? With the growing number of niche global travelers, adventure voyagers and adventure sport enthusiasts flocking to various Asian sea hotspots, the A…



231. Free Boat Washes to Clean Lake Pontchartrain By Lance Winslow

As the debate rages on about how to reduce the size of the city by allowing the water to retake part of New Orleans lower elevati…



232. Family Reunion Cruises - Something Everyone Can Live With By Tracey Amino
     The mere thought of getting together for a family reunion can strike terror into even the most stalwart of human beings. Don't get me wrong.

If you mention …

     In one of my searches on the Internet about interesting travel websites I found a site on sea kayaking in the Adriatic. I contacted the webmaster to do a mutual link exchange and upon further investigation, I asked Ivana, one of the founders of the website, to actually do an interview with me.
