Dream Cruising Destinations by Vanessa Bird Pdf

Most yachtsmen dream about cruising to an exotic destination; this is the book that will turn dreamers into planners. 24 classic cruises are fully mapped, measured and costed, showing how they are perfectly possible whatever your skill level. From weekend cruises around the British Isles to a voyage to Antarctica, and from Greek island cruises to an escape to the Virgin Islands, this book explores where to go, why, how to get there and what to expect en route. The book breaks down each cruise into important considerations, such as what type of boat is needed, what level of skill or qualifications are required, whether it is a suitable journey to undertake with a young family, what possible dangers might influence any decision (from extreme weather to the threat of piracy), and most obviously, cost. Covering popular, exotic cruising destinations such as Thailand and the Virgin Islands, as well as unexpected, almost secret routes along the US Intracoastal Waterway and French canals, as well as proper adventures (including both Atlantic and Pacific crossings), this inspirational may be the starting point for the voyage of a lifetime.

Cruising by Gerald Walker Pdf

The book that was the basis for the hit film by the same title starring Al Pacino. The killer makes love to women. But only the feel of his knife into a man’s body can satisfy him. The rookie enters the killer’s nightworld as decoy. Becomes the killer’s prey... and then the victim of his own violent, tortured mind. Two men will stalk Manhattan’s shadowed streets, bars, parks, places where men meet men. Both hurting. Both obsessed. Lured closer and closer to each other. Across the line between cop and killer. Into the terror of homicidal compulsion.

High Paws for A Dog’s Guide to Life, Love and Counter Cruising: “I had no idea what I was missing. Baker’s book brought my game to a whole new level and I can’t thank him enough. It all started with a ‘paws-on’ demonstration on Thanksgiving 2009. I never looked back.” —Gus Tobias, Newfoundland (RIP) “There are those of us who beg for treats and those of us who appropriate treats. Through Baker’s book, I’ve learned not to concern myself with what I’m doing but how I’m doing it. It’s made a huge difference!” —Jake Franklin, Collie “I’ve been a counter-cruiser from way back. This guidebook has refined some of my clumsier techniques and also boosted my confidence in some of my ‘tried and true’ capers. This is a great read!” —Poppy Williams, Greyhound “Never have I felt so good about doing something so bad!” —Kirby Leighton, Brittany Spaniel “Easy as 1-2-3, simple as A-B-C and rockin’ like Do-Re-Me! This is the ultimate guide to snacking nirvana!” —Cupcake Harper, English Bulldog “Baker explains it all, step by step, paw by paw. Cruising has never been so productive!” —Sioban Wells, Irish Wolfhound “Two paws Up!” —Banjo Tabor, Skippit (see chapter on designer dogs)
