Favourites

Here are a few hyperlinks to some of my favourite places on the web that are related to my boating and other interests. Check this page out once in a while as I will continue to add hyperlinks to web sites published by other people I have met along the way, useful resource sites, etc.

There are so many other great websites and YouTube channels out there that I could easily add 20 more links – but then you’d think that I spend too much time watching stuff instead of doing stuff – & you would be right!
