The Top Twenty-one--What Cruisers Like

These are not in any particular order--I don't think.

1.  Hot showers
2.  News from friends and family
3.  Meeting other boaters  (at happy hours preferably)
4.  Wind from the right direction (but not too much)
5.  Calm seas
6.  Good weather forecasts that tell you when this will happen.
7.  A grocery store near an anchorage or a marina
8.  A good internet connection (so one can get   news from friends and family) .
9.  Cheap or free laundry facilities ( boy does word get around)
10.  An anchorage that holds and where one doesn't rock and roll all night.
11.  Warm dry weather
12.  Nice places to walk or bike on shore.  (maybe a few nice shells)
13.  Nice places to see under the water
14.  Equipment that does what you want it to do and doesn't break down.
15.  Someone who can help you when your equipment doesn't do what you want it to do.
16.  Good books to read.
17.  Ice easily available
18.  Places that will accept your trash.
19.  Places that have good water.
20.  The occasional good restaurant
21.  News from friends and family

  1. Hello Roberta!

    We are still at SPanish Wells - It will be a full week tomorrow, hopefully you all are doing well with this funny weather!

    Yes, Spanish Wells is a neat place, a little more happening than Bimini, as far as stores and shops go... I recommend this place though because there are three our four places that it sell ice cream! Clearly I have tough standards!

    From here we are headed to the Abacos... I think Marsh Harbor first. Hopefully the weather will be nice leave by Sunday.

    Keep in touch!
    Julie
