#48 – Chain of Command

August, 2010

I’ve been thinking quite a lot about captains lately – what it means to be one, what it means to have one.

#33 – How We Choose Where We Cruise – Part 2

May, 2009

Last month we surveyed the basic principles that guide how cruisers, especially new cruisers, make decisions about where they are going to cruise.

#32 – How We Choose Where We Cruise – Part 1

April, 2009

Cruisers are unique travelers.

In 2006, Gwen Hamlin, one of the principals for Women and Cruising, began writing a monthly column called Admirals’ Angle for Latitudes & Attitudes magazine.

In 2013, Admirals’ Angle moved to the new magazine Cruising Outpost, currently a quarterly. The most recent column appears on www.womenandcruising.com after its issue is no longer on the stands.

From its inception, Admirals’ Angle -- a direct outgrowth of Women and Cruising seminars -- has aimed to discuss questions and issues that weigh on the minds of cruising women, particularly those just starting out, using input and examples contributed by a far flung network of experienced cruising “Admirals.”

The goal is to introduce the kind of women you can expect to meet out cruising, and to demonstrate that there is rarely one simple answer to any issue. Check the index below to see if Admirals’ Angle has already addressed an issue of concern to you!

If you don’t see your questions addressed, or if you would like to be a contributing Admiral, you can email Gwen directly at admiralsangle@yahoo.com
