January 21st, 2010 - by Kathy Parsons
 Here’s a great opportunity to meet another Women and Cruising friend:
Janna Cawrse Esarey will be speaking at the 2010 Seattle Boat Show, January 29 – February 6, 2010, at Qwest Field.
Janna is the author of The Motion of the Ocean: 1 Small Boat, 2 Average Lovers, and a Woman’s Search for the Meaning of Wife.
Gwen Hamlin and I both read Motion and thoroughly enjoyed it. Janna has a great sense of humor, and she certainly captures the dynamics of cruising, especially that of a couple learning to live together on a small boat. I highly recommend it!
Janna will be giving seminars on Sunday and Monday. Monday is Women’s Day at the Boat Show!
Here are the details of Janna’s seminars:

Sea Cloud
Come and join the Trans Atlantic Passage of the lovely and historical yacht SEA CLOUD. This beautiful 367 foot private yacht was built for Marjorie Merryweather Post and is now a charter yacht that works the Caribbean in the winter and the Mediterranean in the summer.

 We had a great time at the Women and Cruising Seminar Sunday October 11, 2009 at the Annapolis Boat Show. For the first time ever, Beth Leonard, circumnavigator and author of the Voyager’s Handbook joined us. And Pam Wall and I LOVED having her – she was a great member of the Women and Cruising team and we hope she can join us again.
We had quite a few other Women and Cruising contributors in the audience sharing their experiences: …Read more

While you’re at the 2009 Annapolis Sailboat Show, be sure to stop by the Author’s Corner (Booth M5) and talk cruising.
Another reason that I love the Annapolis Boat Show is that I get to hang out with two of my favorite cruising authors, Jimmy Cornell and John Otterbacher (author of Sailing Grace).
 Jimmy Cornell is the author of the best-selling World Cruising Routes
as well as founder of Noonsite, and the Atlantic Rally for Cruisers. I’ve carried Jimmy’s books aboard my boat for decades, but I’d never met him until two years ago at the Annapolis Boat Show.

 Thanks to Cruising World, we will once again be giving the Women and Cruising Seminar at the Annapolis Boat Show this Fall. It’s been a while since we have done the seminar so it will be a happy reunion for us – and for women and men who have attended the seminar in previous years and have told us they will be back again this year.
As a woman emailed us today: “I attended your seminar last year at the Annapolis Boat show and absolutely loved it. I plan on attending again this year.”

Cruising the Chilean Channels and Cape Horn
 Stretching northward from Cape Horn along Chile’s west coast lies a 1,000-mile long archipelago of islands and channels, narrow sounds and glacier-studded fjords with only a handful of settlements. Cruising this magnificent area means braving gale- to storm-force winds on a weekly basis, facing hurricane-force williwaws capable of knocking a 50-foot boat flat and being totally self-sufficient for months at a time. Beth Leonard and her husband, Evans Starzinger, have spent a total of …Read more

We received this email from Mary Orme with information for families that are interested in learning to sail:
“I would like to ask whether you could make mention, under the KIDS ABOARD section that Offshore Sailing School is offering a KIDS AND TEENS LEARN TO SAIL FREE program through October. This gives kids a great chance to learn to sail with their parents for free.”
Here’s the URL that describes the program:
http://www.offshore-sailing.com/2009_kids_learn_free.asp
As Mary suggested, we will add this to the “Kids Aboard” section of our Resources page.
