- An aside….. cruising is enhanced greatly by the interesting people you meet as you travel. In Coinjock we met a fellow , Melvin, who was traveling with his dog. He found a boat in Maryland at a bargain basement price and decided to buy it, take it to his yard in Ft. Laudedale, fix it up and flip it for profit. The boat is a mid 70’s vintage Marine Trader. The problem is that he is falling in love with the boat and may want to keep this one. We shared weather forecasts and tried to anticipate weather conditions for the next several days. We will be traveling in the same direction for the next several weeks. Turns out he and his partner run a marine shop in Ft. Laudedale that specializes in pneumatic steering systems which I need to have addressed on our boat before we leave the U.S. Good find.
