Chicken soup may be good for the soul. But a proper boat, weather of travel-brochure quality, and congenial cruising
friends do more to keep me happy.
A recent PMM assignment, checking out the new 41-foot American Tug flybridge yacht, sounded like just another
pleasant day at sea. The boat was great and the flybridge is an appealing option, but what made it a day to remember was
the combination of people, weather, and a favorite cruising area: the San Juan Islands of northwest Washington State.
