In a recent digest Chris Buyer noted: -------------------------------------- Robert Beebe?s last, personal ?Passagemaker? is cruising again. The April 2012, issue of ?Sea? magazine has a cruising article starting on page 44 titled ?ready, set: Get Ready? written by her owner. He has a smile in every picture. He estimates, not including major expenses such as haulouts, it costs $2,000 monthly to cruise. He outlines his purchase in this article: http://www.oceannavigator.com/content/buying-old-wooden-passagemaker ?Passagemaker? seems to be quite a chic magnet. Chris Byer --------------------------------------------------------------------- We are now one thousand miles up the Amazon River and enjoying some fantastic cruising in Passagemaker. Everyone should include a trip up the Amazon on their "bucket list". Not at all what we expected. Go to www.passagemaker.org and click on "Voyages" to read all about it. Plus we have the ship's there with all the way points. See you all here soon.. Peter and Louise on Passagemaker
