This is a book for retirees, armchair sailors, dreamers, and lovers of the wind and sea. Sailing couple and retirees, Matts and Jeanine Djos, will suggest how to find just the right pre-owned boat by their own example and describe from personal experience what may be involved in an extensive refit, restoration, and shakedown. They will also cover the subtle nuances of finding a marina, short and long term cruising, common sense seamanship and navigation, storm tactics, the pleasures (and advantages) of retirement and seniority, and matters of onboard safety, personal health, onboard ambiance and comfort.As the great poet, Tennyson, wrote of Ulysses, “There lies the port; the vessel puffs her sail, and while much is taken, much still abides.” So join them on this marvelous adventure to new horizons, and perhaps you too shall discover something unexpected and remarkable about the rollicking sea, the wayward heavens, and the wonder of discovering a well-found boat that suits your needs perfectly!
