Love the additional info in the back!

Must have kitchen info

I got this for my daughter and it has all the information she would need ! It is nicely laminated too! She wanted information on how to double and triple recipes but this has that and much more!!

ICW Quick Reference Cruising Guide

Wonderful information!!!

We’ve sailed for several years now and can always find plenty of information on sail trim and hull types, but for information just about “boat life” in general, this is an invaluable wealth of knowledge! All of the information we need to plan our first 6 month sabbatical aboard can be found here…and since we’ve been planning this for a while, I didn’t expect to find so much that was new to me! Practical, straightforward, and written in a way that is easy to digest, the courses have taken me step by step through my mental house to make sure I’ve covered our bases for this trip and what I hope are more to come. So grateful for this resource!!!

Good organizer

Appears to be a good place to keep important documents organized. We'll see how it holds up over the years.

What we needed

We are making improvements to your boat and could not think of a way that was logical and we could keep all info in one place. This satisfies both of the those needs.

Fantastic Product

I received my Boat Documents Organizer and it surpassed all of my expectations. Very happy with the service and professionalism.

Cooking for Adventures

Great course even for experience cruisers

We have been full-time cruisers for over 3 years. I thought we had the whole provisioning thing figured out. But this course gave me some great pointers on planning provisioning and particularly, on storing the provisions once we have them. (Who knew cabbage doesn't need refrigeration? And don't get me started on condiments!) I bought this course just before a big passage (10-14 days) and it has helped us figure out new things to try.

Documents for Boat Owners

I thought it was very basic. Good thing it was free. I don’t see your documents for entering countries on the site anymore. I think these should be in there too.

Whew!

This saved my ass a few times! Absolutely great and easy to use.

Tiny Fridge

I haven't taken the time to read the whole article, but have edited and printed the provision sheet. It's very helpful. Thank you for making this available.

Really Useful

Love this guide. Easy to find info and covers all the rivers. Really tough paper!

VHF Quick Reference

Love it. I am going to make a VHF bag and leave the quick reference in there.

Great way to see what you have on board

I am use to doing inventories and I do appreciate the form you have put together. There are a lot of things I may not but there are a lot of things that I hadn’t thought about. Thanks

Ravi de tous vos conseils et recettes. Merci

Great way to orginize all my documents

I have not received as of yet

When we got Joe's note that he hadn't received it, we immediate sent another one out!

Handy reference.

Just what I need when calling a bridge, lock, commercial boat approaching!
