Over the years (since 1998, in fact), I have positioned Searoom as an information resource for the cruising sailor. Thanks to many friends in the sailing world, extensive contributions in the form of articles and logs have been added to the site. In one case, that of VeledaIV - an Ontario 32 being world-cruised by my friends Aubrey and Judy Millard, almost 200 detailed cruise logs have been posted. Read Veleda's logs
A well-known cruising couple, Sheryl and Paul Shard, have long-since moored their extensive website to Searoom's.
Check out the Shard's site
As well, numerous contributors have supplied knowledgeable articles on everything from sailing insomnia to cruising with kids. (Could it be those two topics are connected?)
I'm always on the lookout for useful content, but since this is essentially a labour of love, I must rely on the good nature of fellow sailors to come up with the input just for the fun of seeing their name in, well, not lights exactly, but out here on the Web.
Episode V17 - Planning an ICW Cruise

I enjoyed your blog re Antarctic travel and the disappearing remoteness of it all. I was interested too, about the occasional incidents i.e. the groundings in Deception Island which is actually the caldera of an old volcano. My son was on the M/V Orlova when she went aground; no mayday, only her captain's embarrassment ensued. Clearly, there's a lot of ocean floor activity in the caldera which was once home to a large British whaling factory and, more recently, a large meteorological station which was destroyed in the eighties volcanic eruptions.
The Antarctic is no place for the big cruise ships either; I was in Ushuaia last February when a large passenger liner limped in after a very punishing day in the Drake Passage with passengers injured and damage to the ship.
