Book Synopsis


Trade Review
John Kretschmer has an easygoing style that will ingratiate the reader from the very start of this book. It is a look at what a life at sea can mean to a person, and it is extremely well-written and easy to follow. Plenty of good insight into what can be expected when you are out there for days at a time. Consisting of anecdotes from his sailing career, this book is highly recommended for those who plan to go cruising. * Latitudes & Attitudes *
Wildly festooned with adventure, romance and outrageous characters. * Miami Herald *
Filled with a myriad of sea stories...all delivered with a wry and self-deprecating sense of humor. * Sailing *
I would highly recommend this book to anyone [with] a sense of adventure and romance. * Good Old Boat *
