Welcome!
The Boat Galley Resource Center is THE place to get information that you won't get in a typical Learn To Sail or Learn To Cruise course. I'm Carolyn Shearlock and I'd like to help you:
- decide if living or cruising on a boat is for you
- make a smooth transition to the cruising life, and
- flatten out that first-year learning curve!
