Quality is a matter of money. With the use of appropriate products and the right supervision quality can be assured. I wonder how much damage...
I'd file that under 'Misplaced Western Arrogance and Wishfull Thinking"
We've been there before.
That's Fort Lauderdale, a saturated market. Not to be compared with all the nice places opening up for boaters in SE Asia. There's always...
Langkawi is Malaysia, not Thailand. I like OP's idea. Retire from the rat race and retreat to a yacht in a nice tropical location. I've met...
OP stated that he is looking to retire in 10 years from now. That should give him plenty of time specializing in a certain field. This is the...
