SPARRING WITH MOTHER NATURE ~~ latest addition. I’m very honored that you’re following along. Thank you from the bottom of my writer’s heart. Ah, the life of a liveaboard Sailor…on a Classic Wooden Sailing Yacht… as of August 1st, 2024 we are undergoing extensive repair and refit and will be for several months(!). In boating terms we are hauled out “on the hard” in Cambridge, Maryland. I plan to mix Sailing Stories with the challenges and intricacies of restoring a 90-year-old boat. I’m always open to suggestions as to content….please feel free to weigh in as we manage and learn from this unexpected joust. Thank you. J |
A Wooden boat is a complex and unique entity all its own.

Our thanks to Perry McDonald for this timely reminder! A great way to lift your spirits and get into the Holiday frame of mind.
The Annual Nights of Lights dazzles with more than three million lights adorning every corner of the historic district for two months.
This award-winning holiday lights display runs from Saturday, November 23, 2024, to January 26, 2025, in historic St. Augustine. During the seasonal display, businesses downtown stay open later, letting you dine with a view of the lights and browse the shops in the decorated buildings.
The trains and trolleys offer special seasonal tours that take you through the most lit up areas, and there are also a variety of specialty tours — everything from walking to electric cart tours, and even tours to see the lights from the water and from the air.

Gulfport and Gulfport Municipal Marina, A CRUISERS NET SPONSOR, located in the heart of downtown Gulfport, are slowly recovering from Helene and Milton. Cruisers Net is proud of how the city handled the two storms and we are glad to know things are improving. The marina and harbor, found on the northern shores of Boca Ciega Bay, are easily accessible from the Western Florida ICW just north of Tampa Bay.

Dear Readers and Fellow Boaters,
As you probably know the USCG recently re-formatted the listing style of Local Notices. Instead of the past geographical format of north to south to north arrangement, the items are now listed alphabetically, so that Alligator River in NC is followed by Anacostia River in Washington, DC. The notice week, as in 46/24, is not included, so that you do not know if it is a new notice. Descriptions of the particular problems are not presented in a normal paragraph, but in a tall column.
This new “improved” version makes it impossible to compile notices pertinent to ICW cruisers into a posting as Cruisers Net has done in the past. See CURRENT LOCAL NOTICES TO MARINERS.
See https://www.navcen.uscg.gov/local-notices-to-mariners?district=5+0&subdistrict=n for examples.
Until these issues are solved, Cruisers Net will have to rely on the limited USCG postings that are emailed to us. And, of course, we always rely on you to alert your fellow cruisers to problems as you encounter them!
Thank you for your patience!
Your Cruisers Net Team
