Opps - Here is the link:

Oops! Indeed!

A small, but auspicious start to what could become a very
interesting menu of destinations.

Might I suggest you try to change font size from within a browser
visiting the site? It seems your input editor has left some vestige
of a word wrap problem in the block Island piece. I haven't, and
won't check out the whole site right away, that is the owner's job.

Might I also suggest you consider pre-foramtting the menu headers to
try to put a little vinegar into the salad? Or conversely, consider
how to find an area amongst hundreds on a list.

Is this a duplication of effort? Other sites have and would likely
want to share links to other area guides.

"Jolly cruising tales?" Royalty distributions? Everything becomes
commercial if it survives long. Make plans now for preview, pay for
conclusion chapters. It may take decades, but these things do
happen. Yahoo started out as a net index service, something we all
will come to need, ask over at WWW3, the knowledge well.

How about a link to selected cruising software?

Go for a little more contrast in text, I find it a little hard to
focus these old eyeballs on grey on grey. Try white text on a red
background for the best visibility possible, if it is a little
stark, it's easy to see.

Perhaps a more dramatic splash page? A boat poised over a rock,
with it's tail in a whirlpool? No cruising guide of the NE is
complete without pictures and methods for surviving the reversing
falls at St. John, New Brunswick, where they still operate a public
market dock right downtown, next slip over but one from the cruise
liner's quay, outside the reversing falls.

Good start- good luck!!!
