Cruising rules: Relationships at sea

by Roland Sawyer Barth

"Cruising Rules" is a playful, engaging collection of stories about relationships at sea. These richly illustrated tales come from the author's years of experience sailing along the coast of Maine. The accompanying "rules" highlight the norms of personal behavior necessary for individuals to stay on speaking, even friendly, terms while confined in close quarters for an indefinite period. The perfect companion for anyone on a boat, in a relationship, or both.

As brilliant and funny and wise a book as when I found it as a 16 yr-old sailor.

I love this book and read it every year at a minimum. Have done so since my dad gave my husband and me a signed copy in 2007. Humorous truths about maintaining good relationships.

This is a fun read...or re-read in my case. I wish sailing was possible right now up here.

All cruising sailors should read this. Multiple laughs on each page.
