#30 – Taking Care of Ourselves

February, 2009

Concerns about health care preoccupy most cruisers preparing to go away from their home country the first time. In the First World, we tend to associate the quality of health care with the quality of its infrastructure – nice offices, state of the art equipment, and big staffs. We imagine we will not find [...]

#21 – Fitness

May, 2008

Keeping fit is not the automatic “gimme” from the cruising life that one might imagine. I know I was hopeful, that my plump bod, simply by moving aboard, would magically transform into one of long lean lines.

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
