Now all you need is Europe on $3 a day.


Oz1...of the 3 twins.

I welcome you to crackerbox palace,We've been expecting you.

Thanks but Europe doesn't really interest me as a cruising destination
but I'll keep it in mind in case I change my mind. )

Cheap is the only way I'm going to be able to cruise as I'm disabled
on a small pension. Sorry if my lot in life disturbs you, it doesn't
bother me. Everyone has problems. LOL

Why not? Lots of cool things to see & do in Europe; plus there's a lot
of good cruising & sailing.

It's certainly true that everyone has problems. I'm sorry to hear about
your disability but it doesn't disturb me otherwise. As for cheap, it
has always been more appealing to rely on knowledge & skills rather than
money. They're harder to come by, though

I haven't really thought about "why not". I just have no interest at
present is seeing Europe or the Med.
I am thinking now about boats and building a knowledge base for when I
buy a cruiser and start living aboard and gunkholing.
Europe may be a possibility after I build experience in a cruiser.

Sounds sane to me...

OK. It's certainly true that there a *lot* of interesting places to sail
& cruise over here, first

That's entirely too logical. Are you sure about this whole "sailing"
thing as a concept? It doesn't make any sense, you know...
