About the Book. . .

This book was written in response to all those couples who have been challenged with finding a way that works for both partners on the boat. Just like there are differences between mono-hulls and multi-hulls so there are differences between men and women. You would not say that one is better than the other but just different.

It is for the women who have had teary moments of either not understanding or felt their fears that keep your heart from fully enjoying what is possible. For women who don't want to be yelled at and who feel they know they could understand what is going on if only someone would explain it right!

For men you will begin to understand how women learn, process and communicate differently. And guys, if you want your wife/girlfriends to develop a passion for the sea as you have, then you need to understand that women can get there but they just need to come from a different approach.
