I read that the boat underway -- Vision -- was running at 20 knots through a crowded anchorage with a 5 knot speed limit. Very very sad about the...
Have an old friend who lives north of Wrightsville in Hampstead. Lovely area, ocean off barrier beaches is pretty blue color. Beach sand is far...
Agree about the so-so beaches in the Charleston area. Also water is often brown due to tannin from rivers. Beaches are far nicer and water is...
Partly depends on the size of the boat you are selling. Yachtworld carries all sizes but a lot of the boats are larger than 30'. One web site to...
I hope the Viking passengers don't expect huge restitution for the disaster. Friends of mine took a Viking riverboat cruise on the Rhine -- the...
Florida East Coast changes considerably north of Palm Beach. Stuart and Jensen Beach offer good boating and pretty good beaches, with much less...

There could be books written on all the failed resorts and real estate developments in the Bahamas -- Cotton Bay Club on Eleuthera, Tamboo on...
I visited Resort World a couple of years ago -- stayed in a fairly new condo that was decaying rapidly. None of the public bathrooms in the small...
If the buyer wants another boat built, I'd expect them to work it in somewhere down the line but it could easily be a couple of years before it is...
Capt J Thanks for the comments on Evinrudes. I have wondered if they were worth considering for a repower -- they offer a really long warranty...
Forgot to include Marlow, Ocean Alexander and Horizon as possible substitutes for a Fleming 55.
You asked for a runner-up to a Fleming 55. Check out Offshore; Grand Banks Aleutian; Outer Reef, and possibly a Krogen Express 54. If you don't...
There is a boat company that specializes in long-range powerboats called Nordhavn. Many Nordhavn owners have taken their boats across the...

I noticed the interesting "Beast" expedition catamaran yacht posted in Yacht Forums today. It is a formidable looking yacht with accommodations...
