by Alison Muir Bennett

What better way of travelling the world than by crewing on a yacht?
The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Oceans is ideal for crew pre-planning,
and for skippers seeking crew. It is packed with practical information
from how to find a crew position, what to expect from different kinds
of skipper, how to be in the right place at the right time, where the
yachts gather and when, to rally locations, how to maximise your
chances of being taken on as crew, what will be expected of you as
crew, and job opportunities along the way.
Unique yacht migration maps show where the seasonal bottlenecks
occur, and help pinpoint the best places and times of year to gain a
crew place. This fifth edition with updated information and website
addresses will be welcomed by all aspiring yacht crew, and as a
skipper's reference.

Since I've already crossed an ocean once before reading this book, it was not very mind-opening. But for somebody who never cruised on a sailboat, it has to be full of usefull information.
