What's New (and what's coming)
It is our intention to keep adding to the Frugal Mariner.
In black in each category is some of what we will be adding. It takes time and work but we'll keep plugging along. As we think of things to add, we'll add them to our list. Just like the List of Things to Do on your boat, it just keeps getting longer. If you have ideas for topics you'd like us to cover, let us know. Click on the Contact Us Button above to find out how to contact us -(what else??). We'd love to hear from you.

You may wonder why, on a website called the Frugal Mariner, there are so few pages under 'saving Money'. Well, if you know how to do stuff, you don't have to hire it done - that can save you money. That's under the 'How to' section. If you know safety stuff, you won't wreck your boat. That's under 'stuff you should know.' And so on.
