09-10 Cruising Season

It's time to start thinking of updates to cruising info featured in this Wiki. Keeping the info current is the biggest value here. Anyone can contribute, so have at it and tell your "buddy boats".

New Medical article page

Damiana has posted his Tech Talk on his Medical Problems and Medication presentation. Check it out, it covers common and uncommon medical problems and medications that cruisers might want to have on board or use.

Cruisers input needed

Especially for Guatemala, Mexico and Belize

Give it a try yourself, before you forget!

This wiki is a volunteer effort to track information of interest to Cruisers in the NW Caribbean cruising grounds. Of primary importance is health, safety and weather resources by country and island. And hopefully resources for general interest: such as Check-in procedures, importation of animals, sources for supplies and materials. See sample Distress Incident Form for tracking a Radio Emergency

What's needed - Volunteers

Cruisers (or folks familiar with cruising) based in each of the four main Cruising Grounds (Yucatan of Mexico, Belize, Guatemala and Honduras) of the NW Caribbean. You can be a cruiser living on a boat either at anchor, a marina or dock, or maybe a land based site. Internet access would be the prime requirement followed by motivation to keep the information current and updated.

General outline has been established (for better or worse ) as a starting place. If you have something to add, correct or contribute. Just jump in and give it a whirl.
