Seawoman's Handbook

Seawoman's Handbook is for:

every woman -- beginner or advanced, single or married, 
sailor or powerboater
  every man -- to read, enjoy and help him better 
understand his female boating partner

SAN DIEGO LOG
"A thorough reading of Herd's handbook will make that 
boating partnership go much more smoothly. It's not 
just another recitation of how to leave a dock or drop an 
anchor but a story of an incident on a cruise or yacht delivery 
to explain what can happen if correct procedure is not followed. 
There's a tremendous amount of valuable information here that 
took 50,000 seagoing miles to acquire. It is well organized with 
an excellent index."

SAN DIEGO TRIBUNE
"Just when you were prepared to abandon ship comes San Diegan Shirley 
Herd with a book that will be a life preserver ..."

THE BOOK READER
"One of the best books around to begin a lifelong affair with the sea."

SAN DIEGO MAGAZINE
"The book combines boating information with the author's first hand 
sea stories and adventures that make enjoyable reading for any boater, 
male or female, single or married, novice or beginner."
