OK  so there are lot’s of cruising/sailing blogs offering great advice and experise. We aren’t experts but these are our thoughts on what has worked for us.

Stuff we like

• Lofrans Tigress Anchor Windlass.
• Mantus Anchors.
• Rob’s Passage Planner by Rob Starkey. You could cruise Queensland, Australia without it………but that would be silly.
• Alan Lucas Cruising guides.
• Angostura Rum. We ain’t cruising the Caribeean yet but we can pretend can’t we??
• Moov Insect Spray ( All natural, no nasties)

*  We received a small discount on our Mantus Anchor in exchange for telling people what we think about it on our last boat (Big humbs up :))

Boat electronics/gadgets we like

• InavX for your Ipad. This is what we are using for navigation on Blue Dancer. 

Other honourable mentions

• Port Bundaberg Marina.  Frinedly, very efficient, wonderful marina. The BEST marina on the east coast of Australia.
• Stewart Shipwrights in Newport, NSW.
