Psyche 850 Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 Aimed at the US market, I guess if you're a Floridian the Bahamas are like Gt Barrier is to Aucklanders. I bet the Barrier economy would love a visiting boat fee so lets not give them ideas Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Speaking of the Barrier I just sailed there...via Youtube on my incredibly unpopular channel. (The real sail was over 2 years ago - I just found the footage while scrolling through my back up files this morning, so made a video) Apologies for Fred Drift. Looks like I will need breast augmentation, laser hair removal, wig, and transition drugs if I ever hope to fund my sailing trip to the Bahamas or anywhere else in the world beyond Cape Reinga the way it is going. BP is right. 3 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Black Panther 1,776 Posted July 3 Author Share Posted July 3 Increasing costs, Increasing bureaucracy ( its almost impossible to anchor in Florida now). And the character or the cruising fleet is very different now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
