| Are
you intimidated by the thought of embracing long-distance
cruising as a way of life? Anyone headed for distant horizons
would benefit from picking the brains of circumnavigators.
Liza and Andy Copeland provide you with theirs. Cruising
for Cowards is ...a highly readable guide to
help long-distance cruisers equip and prepare their boats
and then deal with everything from cockroaches to bureaucratic
paperwork while en route. There are many courses to the
cruising life, but Liza and Andy's enthusiasm and tactics,
illustrated by lively accounts of their family's experiences
and amusing cartoons, charts the course that led the family
and many others successfully around the globe. Anyone
who follows in their wake is unlikely to be disappointed.
