What I Like most about Cruising?... 15 Women Speak

Ellen Sanpere

WHY do we go cruising?

We asked some of our friends to share what they most like about sailing off into the sunset.

Read what they had to say...

 

When we first contemplated cruising years ago, we were filled with doubts and questions: everything from Can I do it? to How do I do it? to Do I even want to do it?

This website is designed to help you answer these questions for yourself. We do this by sharing our experiences and inviting other women cruisers to share theirs as well.

It's about making friends, making cruising our own, and getting out on the water and enjoying our lives!

We welcome YOUR contributions to Women and Cruising. (Email: kathy@forcruisers.com)
