SAILING/BOATING FAMILIES ALERT!
It is the May long weekend (Victoria Day) in Canada and boaters are out on the waters for the start-up of the season. PRAIRIE GIRL is wondering if you have your copy of WHO’S the CAPTAIN? aboard your vessels? Remember what Pacific Yachting’s Book Reviewer (Cherie Thiessen) had to say,
“There’s something to resonate here for every sailor- or sailor wannabe, I’m betting.”
And then there is the endorsement from David Eggert (Director of Development and Relief Captain), SALTS Sail and Life Training Society- “Training Young People, By the Sea, for Life”,
“I loved the book. Great humor and fantastic illustrations. Most certainly to be enjoyed by cruising families.”
Why is WHO’S the CAPTAIN? a must have for all boating families?
WHO’S the CAPTAIN? is a book that will entertain children (ages 6+) and all boaters. A parent/grandparent will enjoy cozying-up with their little one and sharing the cartoon vignettes in the context of family sailing vacations. What fun guessing the meaning of the nautical words within the cleverly creative cartoons (and then affirming their answers with the sassy definitions)! Middle Grade kids (ages 8-12) will relate to all the comical mishaps on the water and the attitudes of family members sailing together. Of course, the lines can blur when identifying who really is or should be the CAPTAIN!
Where can one purchase this book?
If you live on the North Shore, copies can be found at MARTIN MARINE. Otherwise, you just need to click on RED TUQUE BOOKS or AMAZON.CA in Canada and AMAZON.Com or CreateSpace in the USA. The links are provided for you on the side bar of this post. Click on the link you want and it will take you directly to the order page. WHO’S the CAPTAIN? sells for $14.99 in CANADA and $13.99 in the USA. It is SO EASY to order your copy. And boating parents and grandparents – YOU WANT THIS LITTLE GEM TO SHARE WITH YOUR FAMILY.
HEAD– It’s the BOAT TOILET, okay?
FINALLY! A FAMILY SAILING BOOK that cracks the code of nautical terms through humorous cartoons and a cheeky glossary!
And don’t forget… Prairie Girl would love to know when you order her book and please leave a comment on her blog, once you have shared it with others. And don’t hesitate to recommend it to Sailing Schools and Yacht Club members- it makes a great gift for all boaters, all ages. (AND DON”T FORGET THAT FATHER’S DAY IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER… Perhaps some of the MALE CAPTAINS would treasure this book, illustrated by DAVE ALAVOINE– PACIFIC YACHTING MAGAZINE’S CARTOONIST!)
