Spanish For Cruisers
French For Cruisers

boat parts and jobs, including exploded diagrams of

Yoga Onboard: a guide for cruisers and liveaboards
By Kim Hess
This is the most beautifully inspiring yoga how-to book I've ever seen. Just looking at the pictures and reading
the quotes make me feel more relaxed! Her pages are stiff so they don't easily blow in the wind while you're working
out on deck, and they're glossy so you can quickly wipe off stray water droplets.
The organization is simple. The positions and stretches are for everyone. And she shows you how to use parts of
the boat to assist you, which makes lots of sense!
A fine book to have on board for stress reduction and injury prevention!!!
$22.95
12 & 24 Volt Refrigeration Manual
by Richard Kohlman

you should get this book. The $25 investment can save you
hundreds of dollars and hours of aggravation! $25.00
An Embarrassment of Mangos
By Ann Vanderhoof
A great read! Ann is a writer by profession (former editor of Cottage Life magazine and contributor to Port Guides)
and put together a great story! We actually met these fun folks in Grenada back in 1996 when we were all exploring the
island for the first time! We shared an anchorage with them and rode around together in Cat-Eye's "maxi-taxi" for an
overview of the island. A more positive thinking couple would be hard to find, and the uplifting attitudes come through
in her book. It's a story of their journey from Toronto through the Caribbean, learning about their boat, meeting people
and making friends. It's a comedy. It's a tale of island history. It's a collection of island recipes she learned
along the way. It's also her personal discovery that boundaries and limits are set within our own minds and that we can
pick them up and move them around any time we choose. The book defies categorizing and is even enjoyed by the guys! $14.95
