When the CORONA virus hit the world, we have been forced to stop sailing, forced on anchor. Our family together with our fellow-cruisers went into an Retreat, to say the least. In the retreat iour ambitions sometimes develop afresh.

It is day #80 of our Atlantic Circle, and ARGO and her crew have sailed more than 2.600sm only this year.

In the best case, this list helps you to detect 'stupid money' and to avoid superflous cruising expenses.
