Saltwater Suzi and Cap'n Larry's advice for the cash-starved boater
What's New (and what's coming)
It is our intention to keep adding to the Frugal Mariner.  What you see on the left and what is above the line on the list below is what we currently have.  Below the line 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.
Below is the list of pages we will be adding.  Not in any particular order.  We tend to work on several at once, and are often taken by surprise when one is finished.  Very much like our cruising practices; we just go without any destination in mind and are often very much surprised when we arrive.
