Most serious cruisers have migrated off of newsgroups and onto
moderated web based forums. That is regrettable in my opinion but
you can't fight city hall. That said, let's start a thread here
listing some of the better cruising web sites.

I'll start with some that I've found:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Cruisers_Network_Online/

http://www.cruisersforum.com/

http://cruisersnet.net/

http://www.trawlercrawler.net/

http://ssca.org/cgi-bin/pagegen.pl?pg=home&title=Home
(membership required)

http://www.noonsite.com/

http://www.mtoa.net/

https://activecaptain.com/
(Interactive Cruising Guide Book - good online charts and local
knowledge)

A word to the wise: None of these groups tolerate asshats, personal
insults or political discussion. Don't even think about it.



I use cruisersforum, ssca (member) and activecaptain.
I've used noonsite from time to time to access a particular blog from a
long term cruiser
I've corresponded with for many years. Speaking of which, I finally met
up with Roger yesterday
in Elizabeth City after crossing paths in Reedsville and then
Deltaville and finally on the Dismal Swamp.

We've crossed the Albemarle this morning and are sitting quietly in the
Alligator River Marina waiting to see what tomorrow brings. Hopefully,
we can get through the bridge and up into the river proper. Where are
you currently?
