[Public-List] We are looking for Richard, his partner and INTO THE BLUE

[Gordon Laco]

Hello Elyse and Bruno -

Have you read a book called 'Cruising in Seraffyn'?

  http://www.amazon.com/Cruising-Seraffyn-Lin-Pardey/dp/0924486368

The authors lived for a very extended period in their 25' yacht while doing
a circumnavigation.  The interior of their boat was more like an Alberg 30
than a conventional 25 footer.
