Anywhere you don't get caught! My first cruising experiences were as a
teenager in the 1960's in various small, often wooden, and always
decrepit, sailboats. I would sail to "somewhere" and camp on shore.
Usually sans tent. If the weather was especially bad, I would unstep
the mast and turn the boat over for shelter. ...


Very cool. I grew up reading the Ransome books and Capt. Voss and so
on and have always had a romantic vision of small boat camping.
