On-line Magazines
As you get into boating or sailing or adventuring or anything else for that matter you will want to stay abreast of what is new, what is happening and where it is happening. Magazines are great to keep you current, but also since their archives contain a lot of data and information, learn to mine it and educate your self in all things boats. They also have interesting articles about where to go to keep you excited and motivated. (Boat mags rock.)
