My Boat Lists is a comprehensive reference guide designed to assist the reader in “sailing away”: making the experience accessible and enjoyable for all, and proving once again that you don’t have to wait until you retire to start adventuring. My Boat Lists draws from the author’s 10 years of living aboard and 15 years of sailing experience, offering lists of tips and how-to advice in addition to the more traditional lists of basic necessities onboard any cruising vessel.
There are lists of websites and resources to help the dreamer find the perfect boat. Those in the process of preparing for their departure from land will find practical lists for building a ditch kit and a medical kit. Lists of provisions, safety equipment, spares, and tools ensure that you have it all when you are ready to shove off.
For the lucky ones already “out there,” My Boat Lists contains tricks to conserve energy, live without a refrigerator, and maintain a budget. Practical advice eases the tension of clearing customs, home schooling and transiting the ICW. There are storage ideas and tips for maintaining the engine. Sail handling, anchoring, staying safe offshore, and preparing for a hurricane are all covered in concise, detailed lists. Making landfall and other good times not to miss help fuel the dream and remind us why we sail.
My Boat Lists is divided into three sections: Tips, How-to and Basics. With an interactive Table of Contents, the book is easy to navigate and its abundance of information makes it a must-have on any bookshelf: on land or onboard. By the author of Simply Sailing: A Different Approach to a Life of Adventure.
