In the future, look for a more-or-less chronological series of magazine and newspaper articles originally published in SAIL Magazine, Cruising World, Chesapeake Bay Magazine, Waterway Guide, Baltimore Magazine, The Annapolis Capital, The Easton (MD) Star-Democrat and perhaps a few other places.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The topics range from practical advice to boat owners, sailing and cruising techniques and skills, guides to interesting places to visit by water and tests of new boats. This series begins\u00a0with articles first published in the late 1980s. There's quite a bit of boating history represented here, since I have been privileged to sail on many of the most popular pleasure boats in the world and have had the pleasure of cruising most of Eastern North America, much of the Caribbean and parts of Europe in private vessels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Enjoy!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"http:\/\/tomdove.com\/blog\/2014\/09\/ranger-33\/\">Ranger 33<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"http:\/\/tomdove.com\/blog\/2013\/07\/over-the-horizon\/\">Over The Horizon<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"http:\/\/tomdove.com\/blog\/2013\/06\/how-much-can-you-take\/\">How Much Can You Take?<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"http:\/\/tomdove.com\/blog\/2013\/05\/quiet-harbor-in-ocracoke\/\">Quiet Harbor in Ocracoke<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"http:\/\/tomdove.com\/blog\/2013\/05\/how-much-does-a-boater-need-to-know\/\">How Much Do You Need To Know?<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"http:\/\/tomdove.com\/blog\/2013\/02\/visit-your-boat-in-midwinter\/\">Midwinter Visit<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"http:\/\/tomdove.com\/blog\/2013\/02\/the-trip-to-haulout\/\">The Trip to Haulout<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"http:\/\/tomdove.com\/blog\/2012\/11\/sail-best-boats\/\">SAIL Best Boats<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"http:\/\/tomdove.com\/blog\/2012\/11\/irish-boating\/\">Irish Boating<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"http:\/\/tomdove.com\/blog\/2012\/11\/winter-boat-buying\/\">Winter Boat Buying<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"http:\/\/tomdove.com\/blog\/2012\/10\/recover-from-that-sinking-feeling\/\">That Sinking Feeling<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"http:\/\/tomdove.com\/blog\/2012\/10\/the-liveaboard-lifestyle\/\">The Liveaboard LIfestyle<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"http:\/\/tomdove.com\/blog\/2012\/10\/winter-layup\/\">Winter Layup<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"http:\/\/tomdove.com\/blog\/2012\/10\/the-ideal-dinghy\/\">The Ideal Dinghy<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"http:\/\/tomdove.com\/blog\/2012\/10\/take-her-out-for-the-weekend\/\">Take Her Out For The Weekend<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"http:\/\/tomdove.com\/blog\/2012\/10\/comfort-afloat\/\">Comfort Afloat<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"http:\/\/tomdove.com\/blog\/2012\/10\/boats-are-teachers\/\">Boats Are Teachers<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"http:\/\/tomdove.com\/blog\/2012\/10\/what-can-you-do-with-a-little-powerboat\/\">What About a Little Powerboat?<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"http:\/\/tomdove.com\/blog\/2012\/10\/the-accidental-tourist-afloat\/\">Accidental Tourist Afloat<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"http:\/\/tomdove.com\/blog\/2012\/10\/annapolis-a-cruising-guide\/\">Annapolis -
