Living on a Boat: Courses, Guides, and Resources for Cruisers

We're in southern Mexico and it's getting HOT! This has been a game-changer: never have to reset the scoop as the wind direction (or current) changes, picks up even the tiniest bits of air moving, can release the snaps from inside and just let it fly if rain hits. And there's no poles when setting it up -- super easy. 10/10 will buy again.

Talking beats trying to decipher hand signals any day! Cost way less than just one gelcoat repair.

Like all things Boat Galley, well thought out and well organized down to the last detail.

Thank you for this great reference book. Looking at anchorages by wind direction is so useful. Thanks

I almost didn't buy this cookbook. As someone who loves to cook and has a pretty extensive cookbook collection, I was thinking that there wasn't much in this cookbook that wouldn't be somewhere else. Boy was I wrong! Carolyn & Jan did a great job explaining the differences between cooking on a boat vs. land, how to make substitutions, how to make conversions between freedom units and what everyone else uses :-) as well as how to find things in stores in foreign countries. This is definitely going on the boat with us and I am beyond pleasantly surprised with how well this book is done and how helpful it will be. Never in my life have I actually "read" through a cookbook cover to cover! Definitely recommend!

Your online classes and materials books and quick reference booklets made the trip so much easier. We met others that were first timers like us but had no real clue on what to expect. You all made us pros before we arrived. Thank you and your team for all the resources and education you provided. We were very well prepared for all we encountered thanks to all of your resources and guidance. We are excited for our return next year.

I'm so glad I found your site. Have been listening to the podcasts and just down-loaded the spreadsheet. This is a game-changer. Thanks for sharing how you organize and stock your galley.

This was such a helpful - and reassuring - introduction to the world of eating well with tiny and limited refrigeration options onboard. I can't wait to get back in the galley!

An excellent course! A great class in basic manners, living well with others, and just good to know material. A perfect way to gain knowledge without attending the University of Hard Knocks.
