The Cruising Woman's Advisor

Overview

"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
