Panelists:
Addison and Pat Chan
Previously, Ed Tillett of Waterway Guide was scheduled as a panelist but is unable to participate so Addison and Pat have been added as panelists.
Addison, supported by wife Pat, is a very well known author and cruiser in the Bahamas and Florida. As Seven Seas Cruising Association members and Boatwatch.org members, they are part of a very valuable resource for us all. Follow Addison and his wife Pat on their vessel,
ThreePennyOpera, to various ports and anchorages in the Bahamas, Florida and Cuba. Find and join their Facebook groups to stay current on situations and events in these areas we love, Bahamas Land and Sea, and Cuba Land and Sea. The Bahamas FB group has many daily posts on the rapidly changing situations in those islands. Read the Waterway Guild to Cuba 2019 by Addison Chan and Nigel Calder; he is also the Waterway Guide Bahamas Cruising Editor, and knows the topics well. From cruising during the 2020 season in Bahamas, and now in Vero Beach, Addison and Pat share their expertise freely with cruisers!

Known for their excellent anchoring videos, they will provide a fresh look at the routes south to Florida, as they are currently transiting. Print authors in many publications and Waterway Guide authors, Rudy and Jill are excellent resources for cruisers as part of their training sessions (see Anchoring: A Ground Tackler’s Apprentice at both Waterway Guide and in nautical bookstores). Find them on their sailing trawler,
Briney Bug (the name says it all), transiting up and down the USA.
