Managing Your Bluewater Cruise: 
The thought of bluewater cruising keeps many of us going through the stresses and frustrations of working life. Yachting magazines and sailing books make excellent bedtime reading where one can drift of to an idyllic anchorage and dream how life could be – but if you wish to bridge the gap between fantasy and reality your bluewater cruise must be effectively managed. 
This book will discuss many of the pertinent issues from establishing your budgets to preventative maintenance and heavy weather sailing. The book works closely with the ORC category 1 requirements and includes many comments from other bluewater cruisers who are out there doing it. 
Bluewater cruising offers something for everyone from swimming with the seals in the Galapagos and sting rays in Bora Bora to following in the steps of Columbus, Drake, Darwin and Cook. History, geography come alive, it is not a picture in a book any more – you can see it, you can reach out and touch it, it’s real. If this is the lifestyle for you then the next few years could be the most rewarding period of your life.
