Famed Circumnavigator Passes Away
Dodge Morgan, the first American to complete a non-stop circumnavigation and the fourth person ever to accomplish the feat, passed away on September 14 in Boston of complications from surgery for cancer. He was 78. Dodge Morgan sailed into the record books on April 11, 1986 when he became the first American to sail nonstop…
Health and Dental Care While Cruising
How to pay for health care is a huge concern for everyone, cruisers included. There is some good news, however. Once you leave the United States, health care costs plummet. Secondly, in places like Mexico, there are very low cost health insurance options. When Terry and Jonesy Morris of the Chula Vista-based Gulfstar Sailmaster 50…
Rolex Big Boat Series Recap

Livin’ for the Weekend

Check out this quick list of events going on…
“Sell Stocks, Buy Real Estate in Mexico”
Thanks to all the uninformed hysteria about narco violence south of the border — which does exist, just not where most Americans and most cruisers go — some southbound cruisers have lingering concerns about Mexico. But not Jim Cramer, the high-energy, bombastic investment guru of CNBC’s wildly successful — 2.5 million viewers — ‘Mad Money’…
Rolex Big Boat Series Kicks Off

Body Found in Tiger Shark
In a scene straight out of the movies, an investment banker made a grisly discovery on September 4 while fishing in the Bahamas. As he was landing a 12-ft tiger shark, the banker noticed something sticking out of the shark’s mouth — a human leg! Authorities ashore cut the big fish open to find the…
Catalyst Cat Lives On
They say cats have nine lives. But until we heard about the rebirth of the PDQ 32 cat Catalyst — which capsized and was subsequently abandoned off the North Coast July 7 — we thought that old adage applied only to felines, not to two-hulled sailboats. After surviving her traumatic ordeal in the frigid waters…
