Using many different perspectives to tell of the trials and tribulations of long-distance cruising, 25 women share their unique experiences. This book offers the reader a chance to find out what might work for them under similar situations, or they may take comfort in the sharing and supportive accounts by this warm and amusing group of women who are each seasoned, long-distance cruisers. Collectively, they tried to show how this kind of lifestyle could be invigorating, rewarding and life changing. One of the major things these 25 women have in common is the willingness to learn and take a risk at an unknown challenge sometimes for their partner or, more importantly, themselves. This is not a shy group; they have a lot to say. You don’t have to be a woman or even a boater to enjoy reading this book; every reader will appreciate the warmth, humor, and resourcefulness shared within.
