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, Relationships & Roles Aboard
Through a sequence of connections it would take a page to recount, I’ve come back in touch with a cruiser I first met in a group of West Coast sailors getting ready to leave for the South Pacific from Puerto Vallarta back in 2003. A series of maintenance problems cropped up and kept Nick and his [...] Books, Websites, Blogs
 As you may know, Women and Cruising co-host Gwen Hamlin each month writes a column for Latitudes and Attitudes magazine called the Admiral’s Angle. Gwen has a group of “admirals” – women cruisers scattered around the globe who email their input to Gwen on each month’s topic. Gwen and her admirals have been doing this every month now for almost 4 years, and this month we are publishing Gwen’s 44th [...] Take Your Passion Cruising
 When my husband Steve and I first talked about going cruising, one of the strong appeals for me of traveling on a boat was that I would have my kitchen with me wherever we went. I love to cook, to try new recipes and experiment, and Steve is a willing guinea pig. And we both love to eat.

If you are following my Admiral’s Angle columns here on Women and Cruising and if you love books, you will want to catch #42 – My Bookshelf, A Mental Voyage. This is Part One of three-part series on books aboard. Part Two will be about Cruising Sagas recommended by the Admirals, and [...] Take Your Passion Cruising
 My big passion as I have cruised has been exploring language and culture. I have always loved getting to know other cultures: it is what drew me to the Peace Corps in the 1970s and part of what drew me to cruising almost 15 years later. Cruising provides a perfect pace for getting to know [...] TIPS
 My world has changed! After 9 years of cruising the Caribbean I am no longer pleading with visiting family and friends to forsake extra shoes, hats and toiletries so that they can pack and carry the most recent best sellers in their one precious piece of luggage now allowed by many [...] Events and Seminars
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 [...] Take Your Passion Cruising

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).

… 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 [...] How We Learn
