Hi Folks,
The ideas, suggestions, and advice being submitted is fantastic. I¹m looking
forward to compiling them into reference page and post it on the
World-Cruising site.
My idea is to start with the ³objectives² provided by Timothy Seed² followed
by a list. In a different section will include the comments.
How does this summary format sound to you?
Cheers,
Sharon
