Our company SEAS L.L.C. does considerable work on issues related to the coast. We, therefore, spend a great deal of time sailing and motoring as part of our coastal publishing and on-line coastal courses. We prefer sailboats for their quiet and unobtrusive presence. With fuel prices at over $3 a gallon, we also like the free energy provided by the wind.
Millions of people charter sailboats. But, in order to charter, you are required to get certified by an accredited organization such as US Sailing or The American Sailing Association.
This blog will share our experiences learning how to sail large sailboats and living to tell about it.
We will try to make this as much fun for you as it has been for us.
On a separate blog we are recording some of our research and observations on coastal policy issues.
