Abstract:
More women than ever are involved in boating. Some enjoy the sport with a partner, while others are owner-operators of pleasure or charter boats. As with life, women often have a different approach to the sport than men do. The intent of Absolute Power Trip ­ A Lifestyle Guide for Women Boaters is to help you embrace the sport from a woman's point of view. Often women gain their knowledge of boating from the men who introduce them to the sport. While understanding safety, navigation, weather and seamanship is very important, many women also find themselves responsible for preparing meals, keeping the boat clean and organized, and packing for herself and her family. Boating books for men abound, but few address women's concerns. Frequently women lose interest in the sport because they never feel comfortable. Absolute Power Trip ­ A Lifestyle Guide for Women Boaters will help you gain the confidence to begin using the boat as a place to relax, entertain, explore and vacation.
