Research - Electric Marine Motor

Lots to do still, have been immersing myself in as many blogs and online articles lately. One thing that has really piqued my interest is an electric marine motor from Propulsion Marine - what a great concept and something I want to do once I get my boat, for me, an extended cruise shouldn't have the limitations of finding somewhere to get diesel, and this certainly will solve that issue, with the added bonus of lower maintenance, quieter, and of course, being better for the environment. I will update you as my reading continues, but you really should check out their website.

It was definitely an experience to be remembered, not only for the culture, landscape and experience, but for the great friends I met along the way. So t

I met a very interesting lady, Pat, who owns a 27 foot CS who brought me down to her boat Excelsior and allowed me to look around. We sat for a few hours and she regaled me with wonderful stories of cruising down the ICW (see links on the left for more info) to Florida and the Bahamas, told me of places to stay (and avoid). Mirage 29' After a few hours I let Pat get back to her boat and  I wandered around and started chatting to a Newfoundlander who owns a 36' Mirage, and that's when I fell in love.... what a beautiful boat, sleek lines, lots of space down below, and according to my new friend, the best boat to cruise the ICW (of course!). After sharing stories with him, I have decided for this week that the 32' Mirage is the boat I am going to look for. Un
