Congratulations to the author. Thanks to Joy Smith, I can relax more while packing for our cruising vacations. By sharing her experience in boating it has made preparation decisions more efficient and economical for me. I saw myself in some of her situations and I had a good laugh. I was also surprised to know that there is more than one "Captain Myway"!!!!
The Perfect First Mate is a "perfect" book for all boaters

The " The Perfect First Mate" is an exceptional written guide that benefits new and existing boaters. It is practical, up-to-date, and has great ideas for making boating life enjoyable and easy! I also appreciate the subdued humor throughout the book. I recommened this book to any boater who wants to spend more time enjoying boating, and less time with worrying about the "grunt work".

I enjoyed reading this book and highly recommend it to both new and experienced boaters. Joy Smith takes a practical approach to the day-to-day operations of living aboard no matter what the length of time is, a day sail, a weekend outing or the extended cruise. Join her for a good laugh along the way!

The Perfect First Mate provides very helpful information to any new or experienced boater. It includes tips on provisioning, bedding and a lot of other helpful hits that are not necessarily common sense to any new boater. It think it reads well and the author has a great sense of humor!!!
