Stunning HD display
When it comes to HD displays, great resolution is just the start. Unlike many other tablets, Kindle Fire HD also delivers rich color and deep contrast from every angle, with an advanced polarizing filter and custom anti-glare technology.
High Definition Touchscreen Display
Rich, immersive, video. Beautiful, vivid photos. Crisp, detailed text. Enjoy your favorite content on a large, beautiful 1920x1200 display, capable of playing movies and TV shows in up to 1080p high definition. At 254 ppi, the display on Kindle Fire HD 8.9" is high enough quality that individual pixels are indistinguishable to the human eye. The result, an unparalleled viewing experience, no matter what you want to watch.
Reduced Screen Glare
Most tablet displays are made up of two pieces of glass - an LCD on the bottom and a touch sensor on the top, separated by an air gap. With an air gap, light reflects off of every surface as it passes through from the front, creating multiple distracting reflections that reduce display contrast. Kindle Fire HD solves this air gap problem by laminating the touch sensor and the LCD together into a single layer of glass, creating a display that's easy to view, even in overhead light.
Richer Colors at Wider Angles
Like many tablets, Kindle Fire HD uses In-Plane Switching (IPS) to improve color reproduction. But displays that only use IPS still appear washed out at various angles, such as laid sideways when reading in bed, laid flat on a table, or held between you and a friend when sharing a movie. Kindle Fire HD addresses this issue by applying an advanced polarizing filter directly to the LCD panel. This results in a display that shows the same deep contrast and rich, detailed color when viewed at any angle.
Booming sound without distortion
Low quality sound can ruin your HD entertainment experience. That's why Kindle Fire HD 8.9" features exclusive, custom Dolby audio, dual stereo speakers, and auto-optimization software for clear, crisp, balanced audio.
Exclusive Dolby Audio
Kindle Fire HD uses the power of Dolby Digital Plus to create a world class audio experience, with or without headphones. Dolby Digital Plus includes technology used to adjust volume, create virtual surround sound, and deliver easier-to-understand dialogue in movies and TV shows. Kindle Fire HD is designed to automatically optimize the audio profile based on what you're doing, such as watching a movie, listening to music, or talking on Skype. It even optimizes the audio differently when you have headphones plugged in, so you can just sit back and enjoy.
Powerful Dual Stereo Speakers
Big sound. Compact design. With Kindle Fire HD 8.9", we put stereo speakers on both sides of the display for a wide stereo sound-field similar to that of a home stereo, then tuned them to better reproduce low notes. The result - deeper bass in your music, loud, rumbling movie soundtracks, and room-filling stereo sound without distortion, even at higher volumes.
Ultra-fast Wi-Fi
When it comes to HD content, bandwidth is everything. Without it, you get video buffering, slow downloads, and dropped connections. Kindle Fire HD solves this issue by using state-of-the-art dual-band, dual-antenna Wi-Fi for over 40% faster speeds.
Two Antennas, Better Bandwidth
Kindle Fire HD is the first tablet to feature dual Wi-Fi antennas and Multiple In/Multiple Out (MIMO) technology for powerful, HD-ready Wi-Fi. This allows reception or transmission over both antennas simultaneously to increase capacity and reliability. So you'll enjoy fewer dropped connections, more than 40% faster media streaming, and be able to go further from your wireless hotspot than with other tablets.
Dual Band Support
Many Wi-Fi devices, from other tablets to baby monitors, only operate in the 2.4 GHz band. The more of these devices that you and your neighbors have operating in the band, the slower your connection is. Kindle Fire HD is capable of automatically switching between the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi frequencies, which will allow you to use this less congested 5 GHz band for better range and less interference.
Uncompromised power under the hood
HD content requires more storage, strong processing power, and plenty of battery life. Kindle Fire HD 8.9" was designed specifically for HD movies and games, giving you lightning fast performance without compromising battery life or storage.
Powerful HD Processor
Plenty of Storage for HD Content
For an HD device, 8GB of storage is not enough. High definition content is substantially larger - for example, on average, an SD movie is 500MB, and an HD movie is 2GB. Because of this, Kindle Fire HD 8.9" offers 32GB of storage, as well as free, unlimited cloud storage for your Amazon content.

Shoppers found bigger sales, smaller crowds
FedEx courier Andrew Standeven makes last minute deliveries to businesses at the CambridgeSide Galleria mall in Cambridge, Mass., Monday, Dec. 24, 2012. Although fresh data on the holiday shopping season is expected in coming days, early figures point to a ho-hum season for retailers despite last-ditch efforts to lure shoppers over the final weekend before Christmas. And with concerns about the economy and the looming "fiscal cliff" weighing on the minds of already cautious shoppers, analyst say stores will need to offer "once in a lifetime" blowouts to clear out inventory. (AP Photo/Michael Dwyer)
NEW YORK (AP) — Shoppers who waited until the final days before Christmas were rewarded with big bargains and lighter crowds. But their last-minute deal hunting may hurt stores.
Although fresh data on the holiday shopping season won't be available until Christmas, analysts expect growth from last year to be modest. Several factors have dampened shoppers' spirits, [auth] including fears that the economy could fall off the "fiscal cliff," triggering tax increases and spending cuts early next year.
On Christmas Eve, Taubman Centers, which operates 28 malls across the country, reported a "very strong weekend." But many last-minute shoppers in cities including New York, Atlanta and Indianapolis were spending less than they did last year, and taking advantage of big discounts of up to 70 percent that hurt stores' profits.
Kris Betzold, 40, of Carmel, Ind., was out at the Fashion Mall at Keystone in Indianapolis on Monday looking for deals on toys, and said she's noticed the sales are "even better now than they were at Thanksgiving." She said the economy has prompted her and her husband to be more frugal this year.
"We under-budgeted ourselves by $400 for Christmas because we just wanted to put that money back in savings," she said.
Dianne Ashford, 40, was at the Lenox Square Mall in Atlanta on Monday, said she was spending $500 on gifts this year, down from the $1,000 she normally spends.
"Times are hard," said Ashford, who works for a film production company. The best deal she found this year was a guitar for her mother, half off at $79.
Other last-minute shoppers said they were holding off as much as possible for even bigger post-holiday sales.
Chris Ailes, a 37-year-old TV producer, also was at the Lenox Square on Monday to pick up last-minute gifts for his mom and grandmother. With the economy so shaky, he and his family are trying to cut back on spending. So he said he's looking forward to discounts after Christmas.
"That's when the sales are going on," he said.
At Macy's in New York, shopper Maureen Whyte had a similar game plan in mind. Whyte, a 33-year-old who works for an insurance company, was picking up last-minute stocking stuffers for her kids. For some toys, however, she was holding off for the post-Christmas sales and her kids understood why.
"I told them, 'Whatever Mommy didn't get you, you'll get after this week,'" she said, noting that her children, ages 5 and 10, are fine waiting as long as they know they'll eventually get their toys.
That's grim news for retailers, which typically get 40 percent of their annual sales in the critical November to December period. Although the week after Christmas is considered part of the season, by that time retailers are backed into a corner since it's their last chance to get rid of items that have been sitting on shelves for months. The steep discounts during that time mean sales are less profitable.
ShopperTrak, which counts foot traffic and its own proprietary sales numbers from 40,000 retail outlets across the country, last Wednesday cut its forecast for holiday spending down to 2.5 percent growth to $257.7 billion, from prior expectations of a 3.3 percent rise.
Online, sales rose just 8.4 percent to $48 billion from Oct. 28 through Saturday, according to a measure by MasterCard Advisors' SpendingPulse. That is below the online sales growth of between 15 to 17 percent seen in the prior 18-month period, according to the data service, which tracks all spending across all forms of payment, including cash.
Marshal Cohen, chief research analyst at the market research firm NPD Inc., said retailers will have to be more aggressive than usual with discounts in the days after Christmas to get shoppers to spend. That could mean some stores will slash prices by as much as 80 percent to make shoppers believe the sales are a "once in a lifetime opportunity."
"Consumers are going to be rewarded for waiting until after the holidays," he said.
Choi reported from New York and Anderson reported from Atlanta.

|Hoo Boy. Lots of character-building on this one. The weather was lousy pretty much all day long, and I was not prepared for it. We had a few episodes of steady rain on the way up, but then a storm rolled in as we were coming down. The wind really picked up, and we had some pelletized snow. That was not pleasant at all. There were a few crashes of very loud thunder as well. The sky did clear up as we arrived back at treeline.

|Camped in Horn Fork. Bad mosquitos. Summited Harvard the following morning in under 3 hours. Followed the entire ridge over to Columbia. Rapped once down 30 feet or so of some real exposed technical stuff. Went unroped over 3rd, 4th and some low 5th the rest of the way. Didn't get to climb the rabbit :(
Ascending the west slopes of Columbia will go down as probably my most unpleasant experience in the mountains to date.
|Posted Jul 24, 2006 4:57 pm
|Very hot and clear day. Great views all around, tricky and interesting connecting ridge. Mosquitoes weren't afraid to tag along for the ride below tree line to and from camp at North Cottonwood TH.

|Harvard to Columbia via "Rabbits" Ridge
Date Climbed: Jun 17, 2006
|Tip for heading South on the connecting ridge: the trail hugs the ridge and heads for the sketchy towers called the Rabbits. If you don't want to do them, leave the ridge early. There is a long slash of a ridge heading down into Frenchman Creek basin, and it will block your way, offering you unpleasant rocky footing and steep, loose scree. You can't see this ridge from the Harvard side till you're on it. If you want to avoid it, head down the grassy slopes, which will feel early.

Date Climbed: Jul 21, 2003
|This double is a long hard hike, especially doing Harvard first. The descent from Columbia is a down climb on braided trails of skree. If I ever do this again it will be an ascent of Columbia and a descent on the "stairs" from Harvard. Someone has done some "serious" work on the Harvard trail. It's great!

|A lot of snow still on the upper slopes below the ridge. Downclimbing this mountain sucks. Lots of loose scree. Found a snow chute to glissade though, which was nice. Would recommend this when its still somewhat snow covered to avoid the scree. 14er #20.

|Struggled through much snow below treeline in my terrible snowshoes. Quite the talus slog to this summit, but since it was early season I had the mountain to myself. Great views of still snowy peaks before all the melt-off of summer. This was special too, because it was my last Sawatch 14er.

The European Union may take action against Greece unless it scraps a new law which forbids children of undocumented immigrants from applying for the coveted EU-wide longterm residence status– a permanent form of residence. Under a new Greek law, only the Greece-born children of immigrants may apply for this residence permit, provided they are 18 and their parents reside legally in the country. The European Union does permit children under the age of 18 to apply for permanent residency and there is concern the Greek law may be in violation of EU laws. Greek officials insist that if an immigrant came illegally and has not been able to legalize their position in Greece they will be deported and any children under 18 must accompany them.
Historically, the United States of America was among the few nations which grant citizenship automatically to anyone born in the country regardless of the status of their parents. Greece apparently claims a child's citizenship follows the status of their parents. The American model is an inclusive one which recognizes that once born in the country, one will be regarded as a citizen.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Sorry.....non-metallic. Original green color from 1970. The more I sit here and think about it the more I think I'll reshoot the whole verticle surface of the quarter. I'll backtape it where it curves over to the horizontal side. No real blended edge to worry about then. And the time to resand and buff the quarter won't be all that long, especially if I don't like a potential blend and have to redo it.
You didn't say what the paint was..metallic or not. At any rate, I would re-do the entire panel for simplicity sake, unless you feel confident about blending a small area.....not me.
To blend or not to blend? Help!
Ok guys....my ridiculous workload finally caught up to me last night. I work a day job 40hrs a week and then put another 35-50 hours a week in nights/weekends in my resto shop. I took the night off of working last night to clean up most of my shop. Pushed all the cars outside to wash the whole floor down. Was pushing this 70 Mach 1 back in that I shot about 3 months ago and just brushed the outlet pipe on my compressor. It left a nice 6-8" scratch right in the middle of my quarter panel! Not down to bare metal but to the finishing primer.
So I'm going to wetsand the scratch down with 500 grit paper to smooth the repair area out. And since the paint it so fresh I'm not worried about the color matching as I have paint left from the job. But here's my dilemma. All I ever shoot is complete cars so I have little or no experience blending in clear.
The quarter has a somewhat hard bodyline before the sail panels that I could attempt to backtape and just clear the whole lower portion of the quarter again from door jamb to tail. Or I can attempt to blend in a section that's about 12"x12". The paint is the top of the line PPG stuff including Concept clear. I know PPG has a blending agent that I can get but I have no experience using it.
What's your suggestions on what to do? And what would be the proper technique for using the blender? Thanks!

I know Cambridge, Trinity and DELTA are the best. However, i have a full time job and live in Scotland so residential appears to be out and on line ones get a really bad name. Any advice? I am hoping to teach in Europe.

The situation in Bangkok appears to be changing by the minute. T+L's Asia correspondent, Jenn Chen, suggested just yesterday in her post that the reality on the ground in the Thai capital had taken a turn for the worst, but today's news brings the official surrender of anti-government protesters—as well as fires and a city-wide curfew. Not surprisingly, a travel warning for the region remains in effect.
Voice of America | The Thai government has declared an overnight curfew for the capital, Bangkok, as violence swept across the capital after military operations brought an end to a two-month long, anti-government protest in in the central part of the city. At least 6 people were reported dead in the latest violence, including an Italian photojournalist, the second foreign reporter to die since the protests began in mid-March.
Leaders of the anti-government protesters, known as the Red Shirts, surrendered to police and told demonstrators they were ending the extended rally in order to avoid further bloodshed. Some of the anti-government leaders fled the area as the military moved in. Amid the chaos, arson attacks broke out across Bangkok at power stations, malls, media outlets and other buildings. Rioters also commandeered public buses.

didnt know ^_^ "sorry about that master", well since you did post me something, care to tell me if this is any good, can i trust it??
ok... i get it ^_^ sorry bout that, im new you know, hehe, but for sintra i need a heat gun right ? is it expensive to it on your own ?? i mean i like the idea of fett full of dollars, but donno about how thick it will turn out, what do you recommend me Buba, what's the best way to go for a beginner!?
hmmm.. looks ok to me dude but yeah as Bubba Fett says it's not cut or shaped very well
Don't like me, I believe that this not of good quality!!!!
erm guys - maybe I browse far too many diff sites. but have seen that set of armour as well as the seller concerned on MMCC (cyanide72 i beleive). His details are in a thread and he has been billed as "good". I believe this particular cut has already been molded to shape.
Similiar offer by another ebayer called shubiwan or something like that - although some isues re: price and shippin.
it is all made of 3mm sintra as per the advert.
in a where to buy thread over there - bobamaker and cyanide72 are listed under the same heading as a seller of whole kits
pls - dont flame me - merely passin on info I have gleaned from other forums.

if you are doing this for a one time thing then go for it. if you are doing this to keep for a while and use multiple times or even display then pass and search the boards more before you make any decisions.
thanks for the help till now.... i'll say then that this is average armor^_^ Buba fett says that i try the "trash can" method, that means that is the better way to go, or i can go for this armor, maybe if a take good care of it?? i donno, to the naked eye seems good to me, but i really appreciate all your good comments of experience
Like others said. Really search the boards and do a lot of studying of pictures. This armor has somewhat of the basic shape but has no depth. Don't just rush into getting armor. Worst mistake you can do. Good luck and if you have any more questions just ask. You can pm us too if you have questions also.
Thanks for the info. I saw that on Ebay too and couldn't see it very well
Nice work
PMed ya buddy!
Nice work ...hahahahaa just kidding folks
ivansith seems to spam around just to get the rights back to go into cargo hold ...
I guess The Dent should overthink some more rules than just the number of posts ...
Soon all threads will be flooded with spam ... just for one goal ...
but thats just my 2 cent ...
its just 175 bucks, do you have any experience with this ?
I too have seen this armour too on ebay ,it look accurate to me ..it might be worth a buy if you ask me ,and its fiberglass too in uk currancies thats a steal for $175 = about £80
good luck buddie

yes it is smallblock302's armour ...i asssume he was a memeber on here and taking credit for for some else,s hard work yes ? ..that sucks!!!..i didnt know he was a recaster !!
Maycol. I'd avoid ebay if poss and either A) do it yourself from sintra. You don't need a heat gun as I shaped mine using a hairdryer. Or B) buy from a member here. You get quality and a fair price too.
Happy hunting

In all four games of the series Auburn trailed at some point only to get comeback wins in each. The entire 2012 season the Tigers only had nine come-from-behind wins so it's something that Pawlowski says he likes about his team already.
"The one thing is that it wasn't easy," Pawlowski says. "We were down 3-1 in the sixth inning (on Sunday) and didn't have a lot of momentum going, but we got it shifted. It says something about the leaders in that clubhouse. The guys knew what the challenge was and how important this game was on Championship Sunday.
"I think the makeup of our team is something that is very important," he adds. "The older guys have taken a great deal of pride in the program and what they are doing. They are buying in to what we are doing. We had a very good weekend as far as guys working hard and knowing what's at stake. They needed to come out and play well and looking at the weekend I thought we did a lot of positive things."
Player of the Week: It's hard to argue with junior catcher Blake Austin after he hit .455 (5-11) for the weekend with a pair of RBI, but Ryan Tella was Mr. Productive for the Tigers in the first four games. Going 5-14 (.357), the junior center fielder had a triple, six RBI, and scored four runs.
Pitcher of the Week: While the entire Auburn pitching staff had a team ERA of just 1.75, it's impossible to narrow down the job the bullpen did in the four games. In 11 total appearances the bullpen allowed just three earned runs in 17 innings and struck out 15 batters to earn three wins and two saves.
Newcomer of the Week: Since Austin Hubbard graduated the Tigers have been trying to find someone to consistently finish off games. They may have found that guy in junior college transfer Terrance Dedrick. Twice fellow junior college transfer Conner Kendrick held the lead and turned things over to Kendrick. In his two outings he earned a win and a save, striking out three of the four batters he faced in the process.
Looking Ahead: Auburn will host its tournament this coming weekend at Plainsman Park with Middle Tennessee, College of Charleston and Indiana State the field for the three-day round robin. Auburn will face MTSU at 6 p.m. on Friday, College of Charleston at 1 p.m. on Saturday, and Indiana State at 2 p.m. on Sunday.

To hear them talk, there's a cruising community everywhere they've been along the way. In fact, cruiser word of mouth is their main source of info for their itinerary as they go. They only have wifi when they're near a source.
I asked him are they the young people amongst those they meet? He said pretty much(he's 38).
This makes sense to me just as it did 20 years ago when I was off for a year(then in our 30's we were the younger people we met on the east coast).
It took them a couple of decades of careers to make themselves financially solvent enough to go cruising. Cruising, if you're traveling long distance, isn't cheap. It's not the same as living aboard.
Along the way, they each earned their own homes, each of which is now rented which is supplying what they need to cruise on a 34' boat around the Atlantic. They've well experienced, frugal, and smart with their choice of boat and gear.
This thread often feels like it exists in a vacuum when I read about the lack of young people out cruising. Sailing has always been a niche recreation, but seems alive and well on my coast, as does a smaller fraction that are off cruising.

But its a niche sport for sure.
Re: Where are the younger people?
I think you folks have ALL hit on the reasons there are few people cruising (which is really what the OP is asking).
A) Cost, yes some junkers can be had for free, but due to time constraints and/or lack of skill, it's not practical to take on that kind of project.
B) Cost again! It costs money to tow a trailerable (gas), and most POS Prius type cars get great MPG (cause gas is stupid expensive) can't tow! Forget that if you go bigger, you need to pay for marinas, and insurance, and or luxury tax, registration, etc.
C) Skill - sailing is a sport, and requires time to learn (you see in A?) people don't have time
D) Kids learn today about instantaneous gratification (flip a switch and live in a new realm) the XBox 360 experience.
D) Speed - most people who DON'T sail don't realize that sailing can be FAST! It CAN be an extreme sport... In fact I'd argue MOST of the people on this site don't think of Sailing that way either (not a knock please don't mistake that - cruising is ALSO extreme, but NOT what we are talking about).
E) I am going to say it... SAILING IS DYING! It's a dying sport. It's dying because of A-D. Less and Less people are buying into it. Therefore less and less people are passing it along to their children (as a skill). It WON'T EVER go away, but it will certainly become a margins only sport (you know unless owning a power boat becomes too expensive for anyone - ie $7/gallon gas).
I submit that if young people think you have to spend $12mill to go fast (see AC-72), apparently they've never seen a foiling moth!
But you know for under $10k, you can still have a lot of fun:
Re: Where are the younger people?
The lifestyle of cruising sailboats contrasts with that of most young professionals who can afford them.
I'm 37 years old and I own a Hunter 410. I'm a bit of a contrast in my sailing club. I'm lucky enough that I can stay out of the office for extended periods of times, but with a compromise, I needed to equip my boat with KVH V3 for broadband internet cause of work obligations. When I want to go anchor at some remote Islands or a zone without phone signal, like I did last week, I went to Alacranes Reef north of Mexican coast, I need to be able to receive calls from employees and check my emails at least twice a day. Not everyone can do that. So, it's much more practical to have a motor yatch, with more space, more accomodations, get somewhere fast, spend week-end, come back quick cause they can't afford to stay there for a week. People have jobs, families, obligations, and time restraints. You also don't have to find a friend that can share shifts with you to sail the boat. Wife factor also, a lot of sailing guys I know have wives who hates it. Mine just starting to enjoy it after 4 years of sailing.
There's also a learning curve associated to it, security instructions to be explained to your guests, have to ask them to move around because you have to do a tack, explain that the boat will now heel and that it's normal, looking at the sheer fear of someone when an unexpected gust heels the boat to 30 degrees for a few second . So if you like to entertain guests, a sailboat is not an ideal choice. Regarding fishing, you can't also go fish at 50 miles of the coast in 2 hours. The draft impose restrictions to where you can anchor and how near from the beach you need to be to anchor. More restrictions.
My reason for sailing over motoring even though I like a good fast plane on friend's boats? My sailboat is the only thing I've that I can't go fast. It's the only place I disconnect my brain from the stress, except when I need to do quick checks of my work emails on the sat internet. But I can see why a lot of guy interested in recreational boating would not look at sailboats.
With that said, I know a lot of young sailors and also live boards in their 30's, but they are a minority I believe.
My 2 cents.
Re: Where are the younger people?
Thats a nice boat. I would only be concerned about the size and subsequent cost of maintenance slash repairs.
are you planning on solo sailing? A boat the big is very hard to maneuver into tight moorings or dockages and the force needed to crank the winches while holding the traveler line and maintaining heading can be tiresome quickly.
A two man crew would probably be needed but its not impossible to go it alone. Very cool what your doing. Refitting is fun but expensive. Learn a lot however and it feels good to say you own your own boat, dinghy or otherwise (veiled refrence).
Re: Where are the younger people?
Hi Everyone,
There are many younger people out there doing it. Being 26 I have scoured the net looking for blogs featuring younger people that are doing cool things in sailboats. Personally, I am sailing and refitting a Tayana 37 out of Baltimore. With a timeline to begin a world cruise in spring 2015. I think the market is amazing out there for finding classic plastic is very useable condition. Most refitting skills can be learned and there are still DIY yards out there that will let you do pretty much any job you want to on your own boat. I keep my blog at tayana37.com S/V Satori |S/V Satori[/url]. Some other examples of the sub 30 crowd are: Yacht Teleport, S/V Robin, Ben and Teresa over at sailing simplicity. If anyone knows of more that I don't have listed on my site, please message me.
I agree that the younger sector of cruising is not large, but that makes advocacy and awareness of just how accessible the lifestyle can be all the more important.
Re: Where are the younger people?
I'm more glad everyday that I chose seattle over Florida. The heat! I can't sleep in the heat.
Nah bflorida has better cruising in a way. It's just that its the rest of the year. But still glad I'm here
I know it gets cramped. Believe me I feel it but its not bad. I don't think I even want a boat over 30 feet. Too much maintenance. My friend has a ranger 33. Great boat. Lots more room than mine, but I sail way more. It's so easy to get everything put up and taken down. And if I here one more story about inboard engine problems I don't think I'll ever be able to get one.
I'm hooked. For me this is just the beginning. I will do this on and off for life. I'm not going to be a diehard live aboard. But a lifelong cruiser. It's the best way to live for me. Life is better and easier. I can live anywhere anyone would want to live and for less. San Diego? 1 million+ for an ocean view and fighting traffic or swinging on a mooring ball with 360 degree ocean views and no traffic. No bad neighbors. No trash cans and kitchen remodeling. No flat screen tvs to rot my brain.
Re: Where are the younger people?
Well im laying my my V berth right now with a fan blowing on me direct and the forward hatch and both ports open and its still pretty warm. My 80 watt solar panal never seems to make battery voltage green and no seems are trying to invade my privy space.
Cruising and liveaboard two different things imo. Of course my boat is not fancy with AC refrigeration satellite tv shower ect ect.
ill stick it out two or three years. Then im selling this boat and moving back on land fo eva.
prolly will buy a sunfish or something for sailing. Will never live aboard again ever. Its not my passion. Yet ive done it, built the boat, started ocean sailing, and will do a summer or two in the Bahamas. That will be enough for me.
Why dont young people cruise? Bc we cant afford island packets. Living aboard for us is like living out of a pop up. It aint grand.
Re: Where are the younger people?
24 here and recently bought a Vic 18. By no means will I be cruising, but at least it's a step in the right direction.

Re: Where are the younger people?
I am meeting an increasing numer of people in their 20s and 30s living aboard and getting into the cruising lifestyle. The cost of housing has caused some to clue into the fact that the ony way they can ever hope to own a home, is if the home is a boat.
I have owned my own home debt free since my early 20s, something which would have been impossible for me on land.
