  • I used to use a forum dedicated to cruisers and it was really really great for about a decade. Then personalities started to flex, it became more combative, and it started getting harder to find the info I was looking for. I struggled for a few years, having to sift through result after page after result.

    Then someone suggested FBGs, named after the Exact part I was searching for. And that was it, I was hooked.

    DIY solar, DIY water makers, the manufacturer of my sailboat, Victron products, charts, OpenCPN, RBPie on boats, you fucking name it.

    And the best part is I don’t have to play the Reddit game. You know the one where you post incorrect information as fact so people can rush in to correct you. FBG just ask the question as best you can and … 10 minutes later information is rolling in.

    I fucking hate Zuck, and what Meta does, but I also want to be able to not sink myself or blow anyone up. Which is nice.
