Thanks, Exit Zero, for the tip! Nautical Publications is in Newport, RI, where I learned the basics of sailing in 12' and 19' Rhodes O'Day sloops...

Fantastic! Thanks! I have 3 GPS devices on board but I need to make the computer connections.

Perhaps my last "great adventure." My dream is to cruise the islands solo in Dolce Vita, my Hunter 376, one island at a time. It will be many months b...

Insurance for my 37' Hunter sailboat is $2,000/year. I'll be checking with USAA for the renewal.

I saw Dr. Bacot tonight. Very professional. Excellent manner. He does his surgery at the hospital on STT. He relieved the knee pain immediately w...

What days does he come to St. Croix? Does he do surgery at the hospital here also? I thought he was only in St. Thomas. I'll find out more toni...
