Here we are on Kanau, our Morgan Out Island 41 on the Bahama banks headed from West End on Grand Bahama Island to Sale Cay.  This was in 1997, and we were learning then.  Now, fourteen years later, we have learned much and would like to share what we have learned with you.
We interrupt the FRUGAL MARINER WEB-SITE for a Happy / Sad announcement: 

Captain Larry and Saltwater Suzi, (the authors of these pages)  after 15 years of living aboard and cruising are selling their much loved boat, Kanau, a 1977 Morgan Out Island Ketch.

If you have the 'dream' of living aboard and cruising you will find very few boats with more upgrades, amenities, comfort, solidity, cruisability.  And she's priced to sell! Don't miss this opportunity.

If you yourself aren't in the market for such a boat but know someone who is, we would GREATLY APPRECIATE it if you would send them a link to this site.  You will be doing them and us a big favor.

NOW we return you to your regularly scheduled Frugal Mariner Website.

There's a lot to learn about boating - but it's all worth it when you pull your dinghy ashore on a tropical island!

Because there is a lot of information about boating on the Frugal Mariner, we have tried to make it a little easier for you to find your way around by categorizing our menu pages.

From Anchoring to Weather; from Cruising on your Boat (or Sailboat, or Trawler) to Buying Boat insurance; from Your First time on a Boat  through Boater Education to Cruising with your pet; to 'How to' articles;  the Frugal Mariner has something for you.  We have some fun stuff, too - like 366 excuses (one for each day of the year)  to tell your boss you need the day off to go sailing - all tongue-in-cheek, of course.  And we're adding new stuff as fast as we are able.

Please tell your friends about us. And we would really appreciate it if you let people in your favorite boating forum or on Facebook and Twitter. 

You'll never get through it all in one sitting so make sure you BOOKMARK us and come back often because we're adding new stuff frequently.
