This Is The First!

Announcing a whole new Adventure with Bob Bitchin & The Crew!

This email is only going out to the 500 or so people who emailed me after I sent out my last mass-emailing.

I had to consider where I was going? I mean, just because the calendar says I am about to turn 80, doesn't mean I have grown up, right? With the magazine's sale behind me I still gotta do something, right?

So here's what we came up with for the future. I will continue to write for various magazines, but in the meantime I want to "re-start" my newsletters. Honestly, I had fun doing them. I love cartoons, photos of boaters having fun, so that's where I am going.

A monthly newsletter (free to all, of course) with the latest news, cartoons and fun from the world of the cruising sailor.

How you can help (if ya wanna!).

Since it will link to my website where I plan on running cartoons, photos from cruisers, and funny stories, we'll have it link to where all the goodies are, so as not to bore you with long email Newsletters.

Oh, and I only plan one per MONTH! .

PLEASE forward this to any friends you may have who are into the boating lifestyle, and let them know the "Bitchin Attitude" newsletter is beginning.

Even if they used to get the newsletter, they probably won't until they re-sign up. My previous email list had over 27,000 emails that I had built up over the last 35 years with my magazines, and other businesses over the years. I am restarting with just you 500 as a base.

Tell anyone who is interested to email me at bob@seafaring.com and say "I'm in!" (or something like that!) . Just like me, it fast, cheap (free!) and easy!!

(see Christmas Wishes from us at the bottom of this email!)
