This practical, down-to-earth, step-by-step instruction manual isnâ‚¬t merely about the basic mechanics of how to anchorâ‚¬"but how to anchor safely, while enjoying your boat more comfortably, in a far greater number of exposed anchorages. It contains everything a cruising sailor needs to knowâ‚¬"including the proper cruising attitude and philosophy in relation to international anchoring-as-a lifestyleâ‚¬"and much, much more! It takes a completely new, totally unique â‚¬Å“sea gypsyâ‚¬Â look at the art and science of anchoring in todayâ‚¬s shrinking world. And, it does it from the penny-pinching perspective of a confirmed â‚¬Å“economically-challenged, ever-restlessâ‚¬Â World Cruiser.
