 We’ve just updated our collection of Gwen Hamlin’s Admirals’ Angle columns with the latest two being about cruisers’ relationship with the water that surrounds them. As a veteran dive instructor, Gwen has good ideas about how to prep your boat and yourselves for safely adding scuba and snorkeling to your voyage, and the Admirals [...] Books, Websites, Blogs
Wow! I just got my copy of Jimmy Cornell’s new World Cruising Destinations this last week – and I am in love with it! I’ve carried Jimmy Cornell’s books aboard my boat ever since I bought my first copy of World Cruising Routes in the late ‘80s. When I was finally lucky enough to have [...] Books, Websites, Blogs
 In April, Livia Gilstrap wrote Women and Cruising about the Interview with a Cruiser project that she recently started to ask the hundreds of questions she had as she prepared to go cruising.

Very often this is true, of course, but we are not one-dimensional creatures. We all have other interests, other passions — some long-standing and others we’ve never had time for [...] Books, Websites, Blogs
‘Twas the week before Christmas, and we cruisers are getting in the spirit of the season. This year we have been enjoying the Christmas season in the Abacos. We attended the 11th annual Lighting of the Tree on Green Turtle Cay. The Christmas carols were the best part. Choirs from each of the island’s five [...] Books, Websites, Blogs
I just got news today that you can now read the Caribbean Compass FREE online every month. If you’ve cruised the Caribbean, you certainly know about the Caribbean Compass. It’s a free waterfront news magazine, started by former cruiser Sally Erdle. Sally and her husband Tom circumnavigated from 1989-1994 aboard their Rhodes [...] Books, Websites, Blogs
… That’s the subtitle of Janna Cawrse Esarey’s new book The Motion of the Ocean, that we mentioned a while back on the blog. I haven’t had a chance to read it yet (though I like her subtitle) and such lines as: “Choosing a mate is like picking a house paint from one of those [...] Books, Websites, Blogs
