Annie Hill - Voyaging on a small income

[tarik]

Whilst having a rummage in the local bookshop on Friday I discovered the above book. What a little gem I couldn't put it down, very well written and full of good tips.

Does anyone know if she has written any other books ?where is she now?

She and Trevor are currently in New Zealand about to head to Australia to do some refitting on Iron Bark 2. And yes she is quite a woman!!

If you can find it her later book, Beyond Brazil is also worth reading

Yes absolutely, both books are very well worth it!

personally I found it too dated to be that relevant today, and If I had to live that mean, I wouldn't bother.

The books are full of info but the economics are way out, even for the time of writing.

I am genuinely wondering what kind of anchor she uses on a regular basis?

Had a read through, but coulnt find any reference to it.

Ah but you have ( I am guessing)never sailed without a fridge ?
All I can say is that when I read that book just before victualling for the run across to the carib,food prospects in the galley improved considerably.
Chuck in an absence of electriciery and complicated sails and spars and ,yup,a good book for those who were,like me,sailing before retirement on marginal boats(most of whose owners dont post on here) /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
