 Challenged
by her German-Swiss father, an 18-year-old New York City
bicycle messenger in 1988 became the first American
woman, and the youngest person, to sail alone around the
world. In this jaunty account of her journey, she veers
between the perils of solo sailing, her relationships
with her separated parents and the death of her
mysterious mother. Aebi, writing with freelancer
Brennan, reveals her lack of sailing knowledge and
experience, describes the heavy seas and weather she
endured, her numerous problems with malfunctioning
equipment, the countries, people and cats she
encountered and a sympathetic French-Swiss whose boat
sometimes accompanied her own. The story is so
compelling that sailing enthusiasts will read avidly on
to the triumphant finish.

Steady as She Goes:
Women's Adventures at Sea |

 Steady
as She Goes is both a testament to women’s enduring
relationship with the sea and a gripping and
illuminating read. Whether commercial fishing in
Alaska’s unforgiving waters, racing tall ships off the
coast of Australia, kayaking in the enchanting Sea of
Cortez, or learning the antiquated mechanics of a New
York City fireboat, these women work and play at sea,
spinning harrowing adventure yarns and relaying quiet
moments of revelation surrounded by the vastness of the
ocean. With both original and reprinted material from
such noted writers as Linda Greenlaw, Jill Fredston,
Tania Aebi, Bernadette Bernon (former editor of Cruising
World ), Deborah Major (San Francisco’s poet laureate),
Andromeda Romano-Lax, and Deborah Scaling Kiley, among
others, this is the first anthology dedicated to
contemporary women's adventures at sea. This unique and
long-overdue collection shatters—once and for all—the
myth that the sea is solely the domain of men. |

An Embarrassment of
Mangoes : A Caribbean Interlude |

Author: |
Ann Vanderhoof

edition (January 13, 2004) |

 Who
hasn’t fantasized about chucking the job, saying
good-bye to the rat race, and escaping to some exotic
destination in search of sun, sand, and a different way
of life? Ann Vanderhoof and her husband, Steve, did just
that.
In the mid 1990s, they were driven, forty-something
professionals who were desperate for a break from their
deadline-dominated, career-defined lives. So they quit
their jobs, rented out their house, moved onto a 42-foot
sailboat called Receta (“recipe,” in Spanish), and set
sail for the Caribbean on a two-year voyage of culinary
and cultural discovery.
Exchanging business clothes for bare feet, they drop
anchor in sixteen countries—forty-seven individual
islands—where they explore secluded beaches and shop at
lively local markets. Along the way, Ann records the
delectable dishes they encounter—from cracked conch in
the Bahamas to curried lobster in Grenada—from Dominican
papaya salsa to classic West Indian rum punch—and
incorporates these enticing recipes into the text so
that readers can participate in the adventure |
