CRUISING THE WEST: FIFTY YEARS OF SAIL presents a fascination
selection of the voyages, challenges, and and new horizons which
Matts and Jeanine experienced during the past half century on the
water.
This book recalls some of the most memorable, comic, and
difficult of those moments, whether long ago when they were
innocent and unsuspecting or during the last quarter century when
they refined their skills and explored the Pacificd Northwest,
Canada, Mexico, central and southern California, and the Great
Southwest.
Each chapter will carry you a little further down the years as
describes their many adventures and misadventures and the
bewildering magic of sail.
Most of all, this book is about their love of freedom, their
heartfelt curiosity, and the sheer joy of sailing.
For Matts and Jeanine, this book is a celebration; for it is
about love and the passage of years, the chance to take the full
measure of life; and mystery of growing a bit wiser along the
way.>/p>
