Build a Cruiser's Library

Today we’re talking about all the books that helped us maintain our boat, helped plan passages, fueled the cruising dream, helped us with medical emergencies and so much more. These are the books that have been important enough to remain on our limited shelf space for the seven years of our sail around the world.
