| Speaker Bio: |
Liza is a lifelong sailor both cruiser and racer. In 1973 she married Andy in the Caribbean aboard the classic yacht Ticonderoga and they have since sailed over 140,000 miles together, including a circumnavigation with their three children. Cruising around North and Central America followed then they were lured back across the Atlantic for a family wedding. After another seven years in the Mediterranean and Black Sea, West Africa, Brazil, the Caribbean and currently in the Pacific Northwest, their Beneteau Bagheera has taken them 116,000 n.miles to 114 countries. Liza is the award-winning best-selling author of four cruising books. Just and Still Cruising recount their world travels with Comfortable Cruising describing their voyage around North and Central America. Their popular Cruising for Cowards is an inclusive technical and practical A-Z for cruisers whether coastal voyaging or offshore. Liza writes for a variety of yachting magazines, gives seminars at major boat shows and to a number of clubs and organisations. When not sailing the oceans of the world, leading cruising groups or touring giving talks on boating and travel, she lives in Vancouver, BC. |

| Details: |
Like our readable text 'Cruising for Cowards', this talk is a realistic A-Z of cruising for beginners to circumnavigators, that has a knowledge base from our long association with other experienced cruisers worldwide. The seminar will have a particular emphasis on the dynamics of couples, the skills required, setting up a more user-friendly, less labour-intensive boat, the communications available, cultural tips and travel inland -information that is beneficial for all cruisers (particularly those cruising into retirement) and the crunch of cruising - living with your partner/crew 24 hours a day - all sweet harmony - yeah right! |
