According to John Coleman, former meteorologist for Good Morning America, and founder of The Weather Channel, says that there's a direct...
Nul and void. I can read a road map, but I guess there aren't many bridges from SF to Hawaii. Ages and ages ago someone taught me to use a...
Welll this is the thing that gets me. Everytime I've been offshore in either Atlantic or Pacific, it's been with a trained crew. To me the winds...
I figured, but didn't know either way. Every account of someone crossing the Pacific to any of the islands keeps telling stories about fish or...
Quick question; is fishing a good or bad option to supplant a food supply for such a trip?
I've no reason to disbelieve him. My only question is how do you lose your rudder on one of the larger sailing yachts? He said in the news...

Okay, so if an American like me charters one of the big yachts cruising the Med or Aegean Sea, and I bring my lap top, what kind of electrical...
