Download or read book Sailboat Cruising Can Be A Breeze written by Frederick B. Cooley and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-09 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of us have sailed or rowed small boats - dinghies, canoes, rowboats, Sailfishes, Lasers, Penguins, and hundreds more. Less have participated in sailboat races, and probably even less have done overnight cruises in various size sailboats. Those of us who have cruised overnight (as opposed to "daysailing") have found a remarkable world of new experiences, including - views of sunrise & sunset never seen before - weather of all sorts experienced up close & personal - new and different friends - new and different approaches to small towns located on the waterfront - peace & quiet under sail or at anchor - ecological travel (10-15 Gallons of diesel per summer for docking & getting home when becalmed or bad weather coming) - luxury camping on our boat that does duty as our summer home, motorhome, and occasional family fun racer - the learning of sailing itself, a forgiving sport when modest common sense is applied. We wish others to share this abundant and affordable lifestyle. As the main photographer, I hope others will also have the opportunity to share the visual feast that cruising presents. The beauty will be evident, and you only have to point & shoot.

Book excerpt: “A treasure-trove of useful, well-organized information on sea-going parenting.” —Gary “Cap’n Fatty” Goodlander, Author of Buy, Outfit and Sail Choosing a boat that is right for your family; handling the naysayers; keeping your children safe, healthy and entertained afloat—this inspirational and comprehensive guide may be just what you need to turn your dream into a reality. The three authors, who have each voyaged thousands of miles with children on board, provide a factual and balanced look at the realities of family life on the sea. From their own experience and with information from interviews with dozens of other voyaging parents, they discuss caring for an infant on board, handling the changing needs of children as they grow, education options, ensuring parents find the private time to keep their relationships in tune, and helping children make the eventual transition back to shore life. Added to the authors’ voices are sidebars from other cruising parents with specialized information on subjects as diverse as handling special diets and how your children can keep in touch with friends around the world. A unique bonus chapter, written by a dozen former cruising kids, looks at the long-term effects of breaking away from shoreside normalcy. A substantial appendix of resources provides valuable further information on the subjects covered in this book. It is said that every parent inflicts their lifestyle choices on their children. Read this book to find why heading out to sea with your children may be the most rewarding infliction of all.

Download or read book A Little Breeze to the West written by Michael Mann and published by . This book was released on 2015-11-18 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michael Mann's solo voyage was part impulsiveness, but also meticulously planned with preparation and cunning determination. During a grueling 38 day ocean crossing, his basic sailing skills would be challenged by tranquil doldrums, as well as hostile seas churned up by an approaching hurricane. His 15-foot Montgomery sloop Little Breeze lacked the navigation and communication equipment available today. Without GPS and weather updates, he was forced to rely on his own instincts, limited experience and sheer resolve. This is his true story, which chronicles this 22 year old's single-handed quest to find his purpose and calling in life.

Download or read book Sailing to the Edge of Time written by John Kretschmer and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-11-13 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Kretschmer is sailing's practical philosopher – as much a doer as a thinker. And that is the overarching theme of this chronicle of a sailing life. Often amusing, sometimes poignant, occasionally terrifying but always inspiring, his deeply personal account is a welcome reminder of the good life waiting at sea. With hundreds of thousands of nautical miles under his keel, John's adventures have taken him several times around the world, with challenging crossings of the Atlantic and the Pacific, a narrow escape from a coup in Yemen, an unlikely deliverance from a coral reef off Belize as well as more serene, introspective passages where trade winds are blowing and stories are flowing. His crew has included CEOs, actors, writers, teachers, kids – in essence, everyone. John's narrative is interwoven with practical tips and advice in seamanship, but also, and just as importantly, his hard-won insights about making the most of our lives. He truly believes we find out who we really are, and what we are capable of, far from the shackles of land, when we find a place where time changes shape – days may merge into one another, but minutes are memorable. To live adventurously is to live more fully, and that is the life John Kretschmer continues to live. In this book he shares his simple profundities that will inspire those who live to sail, and those seeking something more rewarding from life.
