mate. |

Changing
Course - Debra Ann Cantrell
This book is for the reluctant mate. Debra brings insight
into the emotions that face us as we chose to leave the 'normal'
lifestyle and go cruising. It would make a great gift for
women reluctantly contemplating cruising at the urging of
their partner. |

Following
Seas - Beth Leonard
Beth Leonard describes both her physical and emotional journey
aboard 'Hawk'. While Beth tends to get a little 'wordy',
she does a good job of describing cruising experiences that
sometimes escape our ability to explain. |

those who have already circumnavigated. |

Blown
Away - Herb Payson
In Sea Foam, a 36-foot ketch, Herb and Nancy Payson and their large brood of teenage children cruised the Pacific for six and a half
years. They experienced a certain amount of stark terror, but their delights far outbalanced the drawbacks. The result is Blown Away, a
kind of Swiss Family Robinson with overtones of the Marx Brothers. |

Red
Sky in Mourning - Tami Oldham-Ashcraft

swept overboard and Tami is left grief-stricken and alone on a ravaged yacht.
Red Sky in Mourning is her amazing story of 41 days of survival recounted
among poignant flashbacks of the adventure and romance she and
Richard experienced while cruising French Polynesia. |

Close
to the Wind - Pete Goss
During the 1996 Vendee Globe single-handed, round the world race, Pete Goss turned his 50-foot yacht Aqua Quorum back into a
hurricane-force headwind to rescue French sailor Raphael Dinelli. This
is his gripping story of those events. If you've ever
wondered what it would be like to compete in a solo race, this book is
as close as you can get without going. |

All
In The Same Boat - Tom Neale
Tom Neale and his family have been cruising the US east coast and
Bahamas for over twenty years. The Neale's share their experience
and knowledge in this book. Contains in-depth discussions on boat
& equipment selections for the live-aboard sailor. A very
practical approach. |

The
American Sailboat - Gregory O. Jones
Greg brings sailing history to life. He captures the
character of the boats he describes as well as the characters
who sail them. You won't find my autographed copy in any
cruiser's book trade. This is a keeper! |
