Sea-Steading: A Life of Hope and Freedom on the Last Viable Frontier Review

Jerome FitzGerald is knowledeable, even expert, at describing his practical methods of sailing without an engine. Any sailor will benefit from reading the book beginning at Chapter 7. This book should be required reading for everyone seeking a license to teach sailing or to run a marina. With the right Editor this book would appeal to a very large audience.
However, Jerome FitzGerald's book, like its author, has problems. Captain FitzGerald has lived the life, somewhat successfully, that more timid souls only imagine. He is free from the consumer society. As a rugged individualist, he will always do well in times of crisis. But, anyone who finds an alcohol making still aboard ship to be more important than a diesel auxiliary probably has a drinking problem. Indeed, the book is peppered with examples of conflicts with authorities and other sailors, similar to the life of the quarrelsome land based alcoholic. The author hasn't figured out that the Marina owners prefer the twice a year sailor who has to buy all new rigging for his boat for every outing, as long as his checks arrive in a timely manner. The operators of the ship's stores would all go broke if their customers were as resourceful as Mr. FitzGeral describes himself to be.
BUY THE BOOK. LEARN EVERYTHING HE HAS TO SAY ABOUT SAILING. IGNORE HIS ALCOHOLIC RANTS.

Coastal Cruising Under Power: How to Buy, Equip, Operate, and Maintain Your Boat Review

It's hard to find disinterested reviews of boats. The authors seem to find the good points [and almost any boat has some] to write about, leaving you to figure out what the bad points are by exclusion.
Any boat is a compromise, and designed to do one sort of job really well. The trick in selecting the right boat for your purposes is accurately listing just what it is that you want the boat to do. This book is predicated on the idea that you want a boat to take several people in comfort and safety for several days or longer through potentially challenging waters -- the coast of British Columbia, for example.
If that's the case, this may be your book. It discusses each of the many systems on board and suggests which alternatives are most likely to meet your needs. I learned a lot from it when we were looking at trawlers last year -- and would recommend it without reservation to someone in a similar position.

Florida Keys and Everglades Cruising Guide Review

The guide has a lot of useful information, but it is organized in a manner that I found difficult to use, particularly for planning purposes. It would have been useful to have some regional maps to better orient the reader.

Brazil And Beyond Review

I got this book after reading Voyaging On A Small Income and was a bit disapointed. It is all written in the "first we did that and then we went here and did this"-fashion. They are just sailing to Brazil, as the title says.
Don't get me wrong. It is a good book about sailing to Brazil, but it just doesn't touch my fantasy as much as Voyaging On A Small Income. Also, I miss some information on the sailing. It's all about the destinations.

All in the Same Boat : Living Aboard and Cruising Review

Being homeschoolers we have a number of friends who live full time on their boats and many sail around the world which is a great hands on learning experience.
The thing I like about this book that other books lacked, is information on things like what to do about mail, TV via satellite, computer use, and information that helps you realize even if you live on land, just how much stuff you DON'T need. It's a book that will inform the 2007 reader well.
Banking, paying bills and everyday information that is a must to know. And buying food locally, fishing etc. Visiting other places and knowning the stuff you need to know there.
As well as how to have the right boat for your needs so that you have the comforts you need and even some you want. Now that I am a widow I am seriously considering getting back to living on a boat full time.

Fix It and Sail: Everything You Need to Know to Buy and Retore a Small Sailboat on a Shoestring Review

Good Book! March 12, 2006
Mike in Seattle
The one thing wrong with this book is the blurb on the front cover. It should read "Everything You Really Need to Know..." But, the disservice is done to the author--not to readers. It is not possible to tell everything that everyone might need to know in order to do something. What this book does tell is what anyone who is even contemplating restoring a sailboat had better know. It is far more than an overview of the author's own project though, Rather than just hitting the highlites, it covers e-v-e-r-y important point to keep in mind for the project from beginning to end. I have worked with hand tools for more than forty years, and it still gave me some pointers!
There is one thing peculiar about the book. Women, can't seem to keep their hands off it. My wife and her girl friend both liked the book. As if that wasn't strange enough, I took the book with me to my doctors office, and ended up checked into the emergency ward. At one point, I woke up to find my nurse looking through the book. Well, I guess that might be helpful for a guy trying to talk his wife into such a project, but it seemed kind of odd. I asked, and apparently they simply like the way the guy thinks.

Cruising in Seraffyn Review

This is a perfect starter book for anyone dreaming of the cruising life. It is a sensible and realistic view of sailing the high seas from one of the world's most famous cruising couples. Along with vivid imagery of azure skies, deserted beaches, and emerald waters, Lin and Larry Pardey intertwine the realities and requirements of the cruising life. Their philosophy is simple: "Go small, go simple, go now!"
