description: This book is for all the people who yearn to escape society's web and follow their cruising dreams. It is written by a veteran voyager with generous contributions from his first mate, Anna. The author shows how to break free from shore and set your course for distant landfalls. He describes the adjustments necessary to live a cruising lifestyle. Anna discusses personal relationships and life aboard a small cruising boat. It runs the gamut-from finding the proper boat, to tying the proper knot, to cooking and provisioning, to check-in procedures and finances, to medicine and communications, to dinghies and heavy weather, to pirates and guns. Few texts are as user friendly or as well grounded in practical and essential cruising advice. A definitive guide for offshore and coastal cruising. Good for cruising powerboats too. 150 photos and graphics.
