Most serious cruisers have migrated off of newsgroups and onto
moderated web based forums. That is regrettable in my opinion but
you can't fight city hall. That said, let's start a thread here
listing some of the better cruising web sites.

I'll start with some that I've found:

A word to the wise: None of these groups tolerate asshats, personal
insults or political discussion. Don't even think about it.

My reply was about boating, or lack thereof.

He does, it is about 6 inches long in the tub that holds his rubber ducky.

I use cruisersforum, ssca (member) and activecaptain.
I've used noonsite from time to time to access a particular blog from a
long term cruiser
I've corresponded with for many years. Speaking of which, I finally met
up with Roger yesterday
in Elizabeth City after crossing paths in Reedsville and then
Deltaville and finally on the Dismal Swamp.

We've crossed the Albemarle this morning and are sitting quietly in the
Alligator River Marina waiting to see what tomorrow brings. Hopefully,
we can get through the bridge and up into the river proper. Where are
you currently?

snipped repeat of hyperlinks

Thanks for the effort, perhaps some people might find them of value, but
not me . . .

I can't abide moderated forums. I find them to all be abodes of bully
moderators who think their **** doesn't stink so they goose-step up and
down the aisles lording their superiority and power over anybody they
don't happen to like and with those they happen to disagree with. If I
want a dictator I'll move to Cuba.

When the oceans of the world become moderated that is when this sailor
will give up sailing as an endeavor no longer worth pursuing.
