| “The Care and Feeding of Sailing Crew is, quite sim-ply, a great book, one that wraps plenty of solid, hard-earned practical advice within the pages of a good old-fashioned tale of high-seas adventure. For any off-shore sailor, I couldn't recommend it more highly...” Herb McCormick, Editor, Cruising World
“A fine, useful, tightly organized manual with a sense of anecdotal immediacy... I enjoyed The Care and Feeding, all 4,548 miles of it.”
