From The question I know many owners of the two previous editions of Care and Feeding might ask is, should I invest in this new edition. For those who have the first edition, I can unequivocally yes, this third edition has twice the information, twice the number of words in it. If you have the second edition and have already been out cruising for more than a month or two, this third edition might not be a necessity. But for those who are still outfitting for their first foray offshore the new chapters and the updated information will probably save you a lot more money than the cost of the new edition. For those who have not had a chance to read this book I have included the table of contents and a copy of a review of this new edition written by an unbiased editor, one that does a good job of describing the goals of this book. (Of course I like the review or I wouldn’t put it here). |

The Care and Feed of Sailing Crew, Lin Pardey with Larry Pardey, 3rd Edition, Paradise Cay Publications, www.landlpardey.com May 2006, 416 pages, paperback $24.95 Since previous editions of Lin’s book have been around for years, many cruisers will be familiar with the editorial format. A 50 day passage from Japan to Victoria, Canada in 1979 provided Lin a base for discussing everything from menus to clothing, to choosing a fresh chicken, to dealing with port officials, to preventing sea sickness, to buying liquor abroad as well as the best material for underwear. The book, despite the title, is hardly a cookbook; rather it’s a primer on successful cruising. Certainly, anyone contemplating, or preparing for, off shore passages would want to read and then keep this volume aboard. Steve Bunnell Stories written by Steve have appeared in Wooden Boat, Classic Boat, Northwest Yachting and International Yachtsman as well as 48º North. He races his Moore 24 throughout the Puget Sound and has cruised northwest waters when he owned a boat he could sit in rather than on. | Contents
