Your Favorite Boating Web Sites
I am gathering helpful websites to download into my browser and was wondering if those who read this could send me their top 3-5 websites that they use the most and which they find most helpful as it relates to cruising, east coast USA, weather, ICW, and general sites that you use alot or recommend.

Thanks in advance!

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Active Captain
this is one of the best websites for finding marinas and anchorages. www.activecaptain.com

I assume you have the basics like NOAA and West Marine.

And the best site for some repair and maintenance items is MaineSail's site Compass Marine "How To" Articles Photo Gallery by Compass Marine at pbase.com.
