A sailing saga of a 4,800-mile European odyssey celebrating the 300th anniversary of the Russian Fleet founded in Archangel, Russia, by Czar Peter the Great. No one foresaw the enormous bureaucratic hassles of simply trying to negotiate fifteen pleasure boats through Russia's inland rivers, canals, and lakes. But, in spite of amusing, sometimes frustrating, official reactions to our fleet, the Dutch Coastal Cruising Association and our Russian hosts, the Archangelsk Yacht Club, pulled it off. Our dogged determination to complete the journey in the face of an entrenched and almost unyielding bureaucracy mirrored the historic events that we were celebrating and the ongoing emergence of a "New Russia." 
Our fleet of sailboats became the first Western-flagged vessels allowed in the Russian canals and rivers of the militarily strategic passage between the White Sea and the Baltic Sea. The author was the only American, and proud of the Stars and Stripes waving from the boat's port spreader, heralding an American-on- board. After more than a half-century of Cold War politics and nuclear saber-rattling, this was the first time the American flag had flown on these Russian waters. 
Ironically, while "New Russians" viewed our fleet as a vanguard for future boat tourism, it seemed "Old Russians" were trying to make our voyage as discouraging as possible. They were difficult and noncommittal, especially regarding final passage through ten bridges in downtown St. Petersburg. Apparently bridges only open at night, yet yachts were forbidden to sail at nighta small dilemma. A Russian catch-22. And behind us was the steadily approaching arctic ice!

At one time or another almost all boaters-and many non-boaters-fantasize about leaving behind the house, lawn, and neighbors and moving aboard a boat. But leaving behind a familiar, comfortable lifestyle for the Perils Of The Sea is a quantum leap, not to be taken lightly. That so few actually make thr break has less to do with the rigors of the lifestyle than the lack of information about what it's really like. Since 1972, Living Aboard Journal has served as an idea exchange for the members of the Homaflote Association-live-aboards from all walks of life spread all around the globe. Fueled by 18 years of the best letters, articles, and firsthand accounts from Living Aboard magazine, Gently With the Tides is a powerful testimonial to the lure and romance of living aboard a boat. It is also a compendium of the pitfalls, disappointments, and setbacks. Most of all, it is a high-octane dream-feeder for liveaboard aspirants. It will help them decide whether to, it will tell them how to, and, most important, it will fill their dreams with why to.

Outfitting and Organizing Your Boat, his latest, truly has something to offer everyone from the day boater to the lifelong liveaboard cruiser. Michael's occasionally lighthearted view of serious organization and outfitting will humor you as you learn to prepare your boat for the use you love. 
Michael starts with outfitting a boat for its intended use, by discussing the systems you may wish to install. He continues with the Things a boat should have aboard to be safe. Finally, the organization of everything aboard. 
By using the forms in this book, the overwhelming task of organization is simplified and taken to a new level without being compulsive. Few have thought of these simple methods. 
Michael has a firm belief that searching for a particular item only to realize it was never brought aboard, is not time well spent. Following his, "A place for everything", advice will solve that problem, FOREVER! 200 Printed Pages, Illustrated. LCCN 98-071300 ISBN 1-892216-06-X
