How do I find an experienced person to accompany me on an extensive cruising trip on my boat?

I currently own a 49′ trawler and am making plans to cruise it full-time for several years. The desired cruise would start in January 2007 in Texas and continue into Mexico, Central and S. America, Trinidad, the Islands and returning to Florida. I am looking for an experienced cruising partner or couple to share this experience and some of the expenses.

I would appreciate suggestions and ideas on how to locate people who would be interested in such a trip, are knowledgeable in all aspects of blue water cruising, plus possess the right character traits (honest, flexible, adventurous, responsible, easy-going, etc.).

Also, I would appreciate any comments regarding specific experience, knowledge or traits I should be looking for in a cruising partner. For example, I am sure that speaking spanish would be a desireable asset.

I look forward to receiving your comments and suggestions. Thank you.

Is it true that cruising in gear in your car does not consume fuel?

My car’s fuel computer says I am consuming 0.0 litres per kilometer when I am cruising in gear with my feet off the accellerator (gas) pedal (e.g. going downhill, coming up to a junction, or roundabout etc.) Is this true? How is it done? The engine is still running. I can hear it! Is the computer wrong?
If it makes any difference, the car is powered by a diesiel (gas oil) engine.

How long after your child starting “cruising” did they actually start to walk on their own?

My son has been “cruising”, or walking from one piece of furniture to the next, for about 2 weeks now. He looks like he really want to take a few steps on his own but he gets scared and falls back on his butt. I know that the progress of all babies is different, but I was wondering if anyone had a rough time-line I could go by. I don’t want to rush him to grow up, I’m just super curious :)

What kind of snowboard to get to do some slick cruising?

I’m just starting out. I already heard that a board between your nose and chin isn’t the way to go. The kind of riding I want to do is mainly cruising, not so much doing tricks and stuff. I’m about 5 11′ and 170 pounds. Shoe size about 10.5. I want to at least get a decent board, not a starter one that I’ll replace in another winter or two. Thanks peeps. Comment on brands as well if you’d like.

How do I get my mom’s fear of cruising gone?

My family and I are going on a cruise in Greece next month and my mom is terrified about big boats. She does not like small spaces and she would rather be on land at a hotel. How do I get my Mom’s fear of cruising gone?
