One of my favorite books. I think I have read it at least three times. There is a sequel to it out,but the first is much better in my opinion. I think my top pics for this type of book would be it and the Pardey's books. A little bit of story and a lot of helpful tips and tricks on how to sail simply and cheaply.
The problem is that almost worldwide it costs a lot more money to enter different countries or pass through the panama or suez canals etc.. We are planning to play in our own back yard for a bit. Eastern Sea Board of the US and the carribean. Maybe jump over to the Med. as we get adventuresome .. We will see. I'm not going to plan be here or go there on any schedule. We will go and stop at one place till we get the hankering to go to the next. If that is a voyage of 10 miles or a 1000 it's no matter. The goal is to get away from the clock,calendar and rat race mentality.
