I've only got $20,000 for a boat and a paltry $1500.
a month in income is there any hope for me to cruise fulltime
or should I just go buy a condo with a water view?


Where?
New Brunswick?

Sail through the reversing falls, tie up at the public market wharf
under the Delta Sheraton, walk to everything downtown in 5 minutes.

Upriver to Evandale, Washdemoak, Grand lake, Gagetown, Fredericton.
There are many old public warves. Major boat services available.

Take a month.

Facilities are all available. You will find fishing, free frog
baits, island beachs, 1 or 2 cows, a museum or two, art,
barbershops, taverns, showers, 4 star restraunts and hamburger
stands, all nearby on inland waters, great for the kids. Brave the
North Atlantic and reversing falls, or charter / hire upriver.

Cruising guides available at the St. John, NB market are probably ok
for a tour, standard bouys are used. Try following the Marblehead -
Halifax race in August. They often detour through Grand Lake on the
way home, a great family week!

No, I don't work for the tourism department, but can offer contact
info. I just hope it doesn't get to be too poular! It's deserted,
now. It's a great way to get out of the southern heat on a friendly
river.

I may build a trebuchet, and sell rides:-)
