More myth than true, I'd say, although probably with a grain of truth for underfunded pocketbooks. Likely if somebody can't afford maintenance on...
@88OY44 In case you didn't see my imbedded comments above. -C Ok let me ask you this… motor yacht or trawler? If trawler, single or double...
There's probably a hotel just next to whatever marina you might land in, for occasional visitors. Entertain 6, feed 4, sleep 2. Most travel the...
