Nigel and his partner Terrie were young and foolish, with a home-built boat that was new and untested, one child already and another on the way--but they were determined to complete an adventurous voyage from New Orleans to see the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt was the voyage that made Calder the marine guru he is today, a marvelous romp through uncharted family waters, while learning hard-won lessons from direct experience--troubleshooting engines, kedging off shoals and reefs, and most importantly navigating Nada, a home-built version of Atkin's Ingrid cruiser that quickly became very much part of the burgeoning Calder family too.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn adventure story and a colorful Caribbean travelog in one, Shakedown Cruise is a must-read for all who are curious about what it takes to become a cruising sailor or create an adventurous life, as well as those who are just looking to sail along with Calder and his family.\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Nigel Calder\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHardback: 188 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSKU: P77587\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is available on order, please contact us for estimated delivery timelines","brand":"Boat books Australia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52958113169772,"sku":"P77587","price":39.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0946\/1920\/5996\/files\/Shakedown-Cruise-Lessons-and-Adventures-from-a-Cruising-Veteran-as-He-Learns-the-Ropes-e1746760607446.jpg?v=1764828357","url":"https:\/\/www.boatbooks-aust.com.au\/products\/shakedown-cruise","provider":"Boat books Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
