When you have the opportunity to have a meaningful conversation with a skipper who has cruised extensively for over 25 years, who is very familiar with all types of vessels, sail and power, and who created and launched a successful cruising magazine which is still serving the boating and cruising communities… you count your lucky stars.
Bill Parlatore is that skipper and the following article addresses some of the things we’ve all faced, and as Bill states, based on attitude at a particular time. Bill has a niche for taking somewhat complex subjects and breaking them down for clearer understanding.
The following article addresses the various aspects of preparation for a day, week or months of cruising. It addresses today’s far reaching services driven by technological advances and how to leverage them for simplicity. Our thanks to Bill for sharing his thoughts.
