Cruising Boats: Sailing Skipper Secrets – How to Heave-to in Five Easy Steps
by jay galvin Need to take a break below in the cabin, grab a nap, grab a snack, make some coffee, or perhaps cook up a scrumptious gourmet meal? As a sailing skipper, you need to learn how to sail a boat well, but you must also know the vital skill of heaving to--or stopping the boat.

And you will know a skill that has been used by sailors like yourself for hundreds of years in light sailing winds or howling ocean gale. Follow these five easy-to-learn steps: 1.

Living Aboard: The Metamorphosis…A Woman’s Decision to Go Cruising
by pnendick Article by Debbie Whiteaker Over the years I've heard the same story time and again. A woman's agonizing decision...to go on a cruising adventure with her husband or significant other or to stay in her nest where she can be available to her children, grandchildren, or elderly parents. A woman's obligatory feelings toward her family are often much stronger than those of her male counterpart. It's just born into most of us to be there and be available anytime these people need us. But there is this yearning for many of us to go on an adventure. To spend time on a boat cruising the world with our partner...discovering new things, eating new food, meeting new and exciting people, and enjoying the breath taking scenery we usually only see in photographs. Letting go and taking that big step onboard that boat and shoving off for ports unknown is so hard. But if you look at it from a different point of view it could make it much easier decision.The Simple Life Read more... (1409 words, 3 images, estimated 5:38 mins reading ...
