Ebay and Trading post

I hope that this blog is actually useful to the reader, i didnt want another blog with stories of "we went here and then we went there.."

With 3 months before i am cruising again, I know that when stocking the vessel i will want plenty of things and want them in a short period of time, it leaves no time to hunt the best price or wait for a sale.
To combat this, I have several search's set up on Ebay that automatically tells me when a item i am after comes up.
Ebay can save you lots of $$$. I bought most of my fishing gear on ebay, with many good lures for only $1 each.
If you dont already know the ebay tricks, then the only one i can suggest is..." never think you will miss out."

Google earth mud mapping

I am currently stuck on land and planning my trip to the Kimberleys in West australia. The area has no mobile or internet coverage, and is largely mapped by Mud maps by cruising yachtys. GREAT LINK TO MAPS http://kimberleycruising.com.au/ I have set up my own powerpoint displays using Google earth pictures, showing some great detail for rivers and gorges, that would be enjoyable walks and would never be found with out this technology
