I am losing patience with Facebook as it's spamming me with ads. I have friends who are only on Facebook to keep in touch with Rene and I, so we're really happy that a cruising couple have come up with an alternative - eBoatCards.com It's only just started so many bells and whistles are yet to be added, but it definitely looks like a viable alternative to the big F. If you're interested, take a look at eBoatcards.com and sign up for an ActiveCaptain account first. it's free and it's ad free. if enough junkies join, we can ask them to set up a Junk Group. What I liked about it was the fact that our land friends will be able to sign up and keep in touch with us. There's also an app for mobiles that enables me to identify boats that are geographically near- should I wish to!
Social networking isn't for everyone, so please don't turn this post into a rant! it's just for information, and if you do decide to join and take a look, do 'friend' Crib, so we can develop a Junk cruisers group!
