This book offers hilarious and serious guidelines to people
planning to join a bare boat sailing cruise in the Caribbean. Read
about Lefty, the Princeton engineering professor, who gives up
sailing because he is unable to tie a bowline. Don't become a
Purple Pink Love Lady who goes sailing to "find someone." She does
find someone until that someone finds someone else on another boat.
Rather than returning from the cruise with love in her heart, she
returns in despair with her cheeks blistered from the sun, her toes
crushed from the stern ladder and her thigh purpled from a
spreading bruise. Will she ever go sailing again? Will she try the
personal ads instead? Find out. Learn all the ways you can avoid
responsibility. If you are a man, learn how to avoid lifting the
dinghy engine, hauling up the anchor chain and clogging the toilet.
If you are a woman, learn how to avoid steering and the politically
incorrect jobs of shopping, cooking and cleaning. Pay attention to
the sections on roommate assignment and potty training. You may
become more intimate with your roommate than either of you would
like. A beginning sailor who is inadequately potty trained can
create for himself or herself a situation of almost infinite
embarrassment. Don't skip the potty training section even though it
is unavoidably impolite. Help with cooking but do not take
responsibility for it. You can only lose. Don't let the dinghy
drift you to Panama. Do not let the many perils described in this
book, perhaps reinforced by your status as a novice sailor, deter
you from group cruising. After all, the author has experienced
worse perils and still loves the sea. In the last section, he
explains why group cruising is worth the hassle even for one not
protected by the excellent advice
