I guess this time of year we go aloft a lot, because I sure have been aloft a lot. Can anyone tell me what shore this is? We have certainly been to this place before but not down at this end. How about, which marina is this? This was one of our standard FREE inspections….

Allures 45 Yacht
Is  this boat truly the ‘all in one’ blue water cruiser? The boat seems well equiped. The cabin seems spacious and well lit. It has a shoal draft and centerboard. …..and it aluminum! [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkwBY-CGHcA&w=560&h=315] Well, we like it.  Tell us what you think.

Wally Yachts!
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53ghMamUfL4&w=560&h=315] You just can’t find a more modern and sleek yacht today. Wally Yachts never cease to impress me.

The Clipper Around the World Race is my latest discovery (although I am sure most of you already know of this). This is essentially a Volvo Ocean Race for amateurs of all shapes and sizes. It seems the boats are all one design and fully rigged and equipped to handle the challenges of the open…
