Based on the author's Sailing an Atlantic Circuit, this practical, how-to guide to the planning, preparation and execution of a passage is both a helpful and an inspirational book for all sailors considering an offshore or ocean passage. A vastly experienced Atlantic ocean sailor, Alastair Buchan looks in detail at three specific passages (a crossing of the Atlantic Ocean, a passage from the Eastern Seaboard of the USA to the Caribbean, and cruising around the Caribbean itself). The advice, ranging from choosing/refitting a boat, insurance, safety, training crew and route planning to watch keeping, weather routeing, heavy weather strategies and disaster management, is applicable to any other open sea passage and will be invaluable to any would-be long distance sailors. Illustrated throughout with helpful diagrams, maps, and inspirational photography, this is an essential handbook for all sailors aspiring to make an offshore or ocean passage.

Since writing the previous edition of Storm Tactics Handbook, Lin and Larry have voyaged an additional 55,000 miles. This has taken them as far north as Norway, twice across the Atlantic, south to Argentina and into the Pacific, around Cape Horn contrary to the prevailing winds then on a North Pacfic circuit. With insights gained from these recent voyages, they have fully revised and expanded this text by more than 40% including seven completely new chapters – among them;

Lessons from Cape Horn,

An interview on storm survival and heaving to with the late Sir Peter Blake,

Heaving-to using a Gale Rider on 55 foot Morgan’s Cloud,

Adding Rudder Protection Stops.

Discussions on avoiding chafe, building and using storm staysails, choosing storm gear, when to deploy para-anchors, tactics for avoiding the worst areas of cyclonic storms and many more have been expanded to answer questions posed by readers and seminar attendees.

Packed with practical advice and stories, Ocean Nomad guides you from the idea of "someday I would like to go on a sailing trip", to sipping a coconut on the other side of the Ocean celebrating the achievement. JUMP ON BOARD!This is the Black and White print edition of the book. About the AuthorSuzanne Van Der Veeken hitched her first sailboat ride across the Atlantic as a complete newbie to the world of sailing. She has now sailed across the Atlantic Ocean three times on a strangers' sailboat. In fact, she has explored almost every ocean on the planet with this nature-minded way of travel. She has figured out how (and how not) to catch rides on other people's boats. Her ocean adventures have amazed her to the beauty of nature, but also the challenges the oceans are facing. With Ocean Nomad Suzanne aims to help adventure-seekers experience the magic of the high seas, to broaden horizons, and encourage positive change for the ocean. You can learn more about the book and author on Oceanpreneur.coReviews: "This ambitious sailing guide book is the spark that will ignite your sense of adventure and provoke your compassion to create a better world." Monique Mills - Captain & Ocean Advocate"An inspiration and fantastic guide on sailboat hitchhiking the Atlantic and ocean preservation. It should be on every yacht out there at sea." - Steve Green (Yacht Master Instructor and Ocean Master)"A must read for everyone who loves the ocean. Suus hands you the guidelines for sailing adventures and she clears the path for all your 'but what ifs' and the 'yes buts'..... Yes, the book is about hitch-sailing and loving the ocean, but most of all she encourages you to take the step to pursue the dream instead of postponing it. So read the book, explore what works for you and create your own ocean adventure!" - Lonneke Rentinck (Aspiring Sailor)"I was absolutely amazed: is it really possible to cross an ocean if you don't have sailing experience!? Inspired by Suzanne's adventures and her very well provided details and information on sailboathitchhiking, I felt ready to throw off the bowlines myself. And I did!" Janneke Dijkhuis (sailboat hitchhiker)Though this guide has been written for (aspiring) crew, it is a must have onboard every boat. Not just because it is packed with tips for both captain and crew, but also because it gives a clear insight in the minds of hitch sailors. This is more than a 'if-you-can-dream-it-you-can-do-it/-if-you-just-put-your-mind-to-it-it-will-happen' guide. Just the fact that Suzanne undertook the effort to seriously look at the skipper's point of view gives this guide a unique completeness. Seriously, it is part of my ship's articles: I want every crew member to read it before they step on board! - Edwin Butter (Captain)If you are considering sailing the Atlantic or want to learn more about hitchhiking on sailingboats this is the complete resource.
