We basically started from ground zero in our cruising adventures. We had read everything we could get our hands on, but somehow the reading never quite prepares you for the real thing.

The following is a list of things that we have found through our experiences that are really important to us in our day to day cruising lifestyle that we didn't know before hand.

Of course, keep in mind that these are our opinions only and your mileage may vary.

PS - In the immortal words of Mitch Hedberg, All of these tips have been pre-approved as funny by me.
