A how-to guide for living aboard an ocean cruising boat. 3 out of 5 stars.
7 of 8 people found this review helpful.
An interesting, easy to read guide for sailors or powerboaters who anticipate spending a lot of time aboard their boat while cruising the oceans and visiting the world's exotic seaports. This book includes all the little things we seem to forget when planning a vacation. Everything is covered, from galleys to heads, menus to medicine, and routine maintenance to emergencies. The author speaks from her vast personal experiences to help you prepare for your own ocean adventure. Although biased towards sailors, this book is useful for sail and power alike
