In my second phase as a first mate, I took a pretty big risk. When my husband, Jim, and I left San Diego harbor for points south, we had $250 in cash. That was the extent of our financial holdings.

Ciao Bella was well outfitted and provisioned. We were going into Mexico, and we planned to cruise very much on the cheap. No marinas, no shoreside restaurants, lots of fishing to feed ourselves. Sure, we knew that $250 wasn’t going to get us very far, but it would get us where we wanted to go, and we planned to work on the way to add to the coffers.

Actually, Jim planned to work. He was, and I assume still is, a master of anything mechanical or electrical. He had marinized and installed our Perkins 4-108 engine, had rewired the entire electrical system, installed our windlass, and done all sorts of amazing things to Ciao to get her ready for sea. We both figured that his skills would be easily marketable to other cruisers, and that our cruising funds would be regularly fed by his work on boats in the places we visited. (more…)

Mediterranean cruising is one of the most chosen areas for going on a cruise these days. Some people like to go on a world cruise which does take a long time.

In fact, to get the best out of it you can take years to do it properly rather than months or weeks. Most of us do not have that length of time to take our vacation so we opt for something simpler such as western mediterranean cruises.

This gives us the flexibility of spending anything from a few days up to a couple of weeks if we have to fit it in with our annual holiday.

The Med is technically a part of the Atlantic Ocean although it is rarely thought of that way. It is an enormous sea with an area of about two and a half million square kilometers. (more…)

Surely, Timeshares are fun and relaxing. But, when you have to move on, getting it sold can be a tricky undertaking. There are many ways to sell your timeshare, but most of them include some sort of a fee. For a quick sale, the price goes up. However, there are proven methods that have worked well for others. If you do the research, you can avoid the mistakes that will actually lower the value of your timeshare. Instead of putting your money into someone else’s pocket, you can sell your timeshare at full value. Also, you can sell it quickly.

Selling Your Timeshare Using Proven Methods

One trap that many potential timeshare sellers fall into is to let someone else sell it for a fee of over a $100. You should not fall into that trap. For instance, a timeshare exchange may charge listing fees but that does not mean that you have to be taken advantage of. A $50 listing fee is not the same as paying double that to someone who ‘guarantees’ a quick sale. (more…)

Roll on Roll off (RO-RO)

Roll-on / Roll-off service is the most commonly used boat transport method for vessels that do not exceed specific size restrictions. After being placed on a trailer, the boat is towed onto the carrier and stored securely in the belly of the ship, which becomes much like an enclosed floating parking lot. Roll-on/ Roll-off service is cost-effective and ensures that your boat is safe from salt water and other elements by storing it inside the carrier. This boat transport method is also quick and convenient, as the boats are simply driven off the ship once they reach their destination. (more…)
