Those of you who belong to Boat US are probably already familiar with
their magazine called "Seaworthy". For those who are not,
"Seaworthy" is a treasure trove of first hand experiences learned the
hard way, and lots of other good information on how to protect your
boat from disaster.

The July edition is available online:
