The 10 Things They Never Tell you about the Cruising Life
Date: Saturday, April 17, 2010
Time: 2:15 PM
Location: Regatta II
Speaker: George Day, Blue Water Sailing
   
Speaker Bio: George Day is the publisher and owner of Blue Water Sailing magazine and Cruising Compass. Prior to starting the company, he was editorial director for Cruising World and Sailing World in the 1970s and 80s. In the early 1990s, he and his wife Rosa took their two sons on a five year circumnavigation west-about aboard their 43-foot ketch Clover. George has cruised and raced more than 100,000 miles offshore. He is the author of three best selling books: Out There (with Herb McCormick), Safety at Sea and The Well Managed Sail Boat.
   
Details: The experts all are happy to tell us all about the boats and gear and safety procedures we need to be safe and successful cruisers. But there is a lot that the experts never mention, either because they haven't been out there themselves or because they are not interested in the aspect of cruising that deals with uprooting your life and heading over the horizon to parts unknown. The 10 things people never tell you about the cruising life will open doors to the real cruising life, what it entails, what are the rewards and what are the hardships. It's not all rum drinks with pink umbrellas in them out there.  Nor is it all shipwrecks and pirates. Humorous....we hope.
