The
Cruising Woman’s Advisor
The cruising life offers adventure,
exotic destinations, and expansive opportunities
for personal growth. But considering such a life
raises endless questions: What do I need to learn?
What do I do if my partner falls overboard? How
will our relationship be tested at sea?
The Cruising Woman’s Advisor
is not a manual, but inspiration about the practicalities
of living aboard – making friends, staying
in touch, caring for your children, career options,
hygiene, “inventory reduction,” finances
– in short, a comprehensive guide, geared
specifically toward women setting out for the
cruising life.
“For the average woman
who is just starting out, a little nervous and
intimidated, even the most seemingly obvious piece
of information could be completely pivotal for
her.” So here is a book that addresses the
cruising lifestyle, not the event of cruising
itself. Lifelong cruiser and circumnavigator Diana
Jessie starts, with advice on:
- Cruising roles and relationships
- What life at sea is really
like
- Children on board –
from toddlers to adolescents
- How to make a boat your
home
- Identifying dangers and
putting them in perspective
This updated edition also contains
information on choosing between power and sail,
cruising with pets, and satellite communication.
Diana Jessie has written and
edited seven nautical books and numerous boating
articles during her 30-plus years under sail and
power, during which she and her husband have crossed
all the world’s oceans and visited 60 countries
on six continents.
The Cruising Woman’s Advisor
is available in Paperback for, $18.95.
