Just finished reading through a comprehensive guide to coastal camping in small boats, written by Ida Little and Michael Walsh. They discuss how to save money by staying small and getting off the charts into some isolated, muck marine areas. Easy transport and storage, simple maintenance. Focus on prep and a flexible schedule. A good reference for those getting into small boat cruiser camping.
It was interesting to see that we currently own several of the recommended boats, Lugger, Day Sailer, and the mighty Sunfish. Guess we'll have to try towing our Grumman 17 SCOUT as a gear barge behind the Alcort Catfish SMEDLEY?
