About this ebook
“A great starting point for the woman who wants to live the cruising life.”--SAIL
The cruising life offers adventure, exotic destinations, and expansive opportunities for personal growth. But considering such a life leads to vexing questions: What do I need to learn? What do I do if my partner falls overboard? How will our relationship be tested at sea? Let longtime cruiser and circumnavigator Diana Jessie start you on the journey of a lifetime with her advice on short-term cruising or long-term voyaging. She addresses the concerns of women cruisers, including:
- Cruising roles and relationships
- What life at sea is really like
- Children on board
- How to make the boat your home as well as his
- Identifying the dangers and putting them into perspective . . . and more
Plan for smooth cruising with advice from Sally Bee Brown, a contributing editor to PassageMaker magazine; Carol Cuddyer, cofounder of Sea Sense, a sailing and powerboating school for women; Dawn Riley, noted America’s Cup and Whitbread sailor; Patience Wales, two-time circumnavigator and editor emeritus of SAIL; and thirty other cruisers. This updated edition also contains information on powerboating (including choosing between power and sail), cruising with pets, and satellite communication.
“A little gem . . . packed with useful information.”--Sailing
“Every woman who intends to step on board for more than a day sail should read Jessie’s book.”--The Log
