Sailfar Cruising Stations

[CharlieJ]

 
I'd happily add Charlie and Laura to the list, but I don't know what to put for an area
 

How about - somewhere on the east coast!!

Nice idea to list cruising stations. Just added our place in Brunswick, GA to the map list and look forward to seeing more sailfar folk passing through.

If you're serious about hosting travelers, meeting generous hosts when cruising, and getting local knowledge (local knowledge is king!), you couldn't do better than to sign up on Couchsurfing.org

http://www.couchsurfing.org

It's a non profit website dedicated to connecting travelers with hosts worldwide. It utilizes detailed profiles to help make strong connections and a reference system to facilitate trust. I have been a member for 5 years and Couch Surfing has enriched my life tremendously.

I will never sit, bored and lonely, in a hotel room again. It's not just about a free place to stay, but CouchSurfing makes it easy to connect with local people and get involved in what's really going on, not the "tourist" trap. There are millions of CS'ers who will gladly meet you for drinks, show you around town, welcome you home, and treat you like family.

And it's 100% FREE....

Put us down for Pensacola, Florida. We have our own dock behind our home on Bayou Chico, N 30 24.329  W 087 15.767. We may have space at our dock for a few days - no charge. Otherwise, short term anchorage is permitted in the Bayou Chico turning basin, just east of our place. We will meet you and take you shopping, Publix, West Marine, etc.

In  our nine years of cruising, we were treated wonderfully by many folks from SoCal, Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama, Bahamas, all over the Caribbean, Chesapeake. Age and health issues have have stopped our roaming and we want to do some paybacks.

Send a PM, e mail and I will send our phone numbers.

I was just thinking the other day that something like this would be useful - seems that greater minds than me are already there!

Sign me up (just don't all turn up at once!).

Quite willing to:-

- point you somewhere cheap (or even free!) to moor - depends on your boat.
- give you the lay of the land and the odd ferry around by vehicle.
- a lend of some tools is not out of the question / some use of a workshop / a helping hand.
- weather / time permitting may also be willing to help navigate around the islands / nearby France - either on my / your boat or in company.
- given that in practice few will make it accross to this side of the world, would also be willing to at least consider using my home address to Register an EU bought boat (at least for a year or 2) - see seperate thread.

- an outside chance that could help out in Northern France, sometimes we keep a car over there - sometimes just visit (boat / car / campervan / Motorbike!).

The main caveat being that I am not always around here - so a heads up in advance would be prudent!

Location is Jersey, Channel Islands (just north of France (15 miles) - far south of England (a couple of hundred miles).
