I promise this next blog is more revealing than the photo of Scott and Ellen. This cynical sailor and his sally sidekick have been documenting their adventures both at sea and on land since 2013. Like us, they too report the cost of everything and also offer advice on how to travel inexpensively. Stay tuned for Ellen's book 'Murder at the Marina' to be published in 2018.
