Quite possibly true. There's so many out there doing it now, though,
that I doubt anyone wanting to set out could finance cruising that way
any more.

Justin.

I know a couple of people who write for various magazines. One and
English chap was trying to make a living at it writing travel stories.
He was having no problem getting published but he gave it up and said
that the magazines pay very, very, slowly.
