Only recently discovered by recreational captains, these waters offer a varied and unique cruising experience. The grounds between Carrabelle and New Orleans (the areas covered in this book) are as diverse as any, running the gamut from the clear, emerald green waters of the Florida Panhandle to the wide reaches of Mobile Bay, the Mississippi Sound, and the secluded backwater recesses of Mississippi and Louisiana.

Long before he was one of America's leading yachting writers, Nigel Calder was a novice cruiser with ambitions grander than his experience. Nigel and his partner Terrie were young and foolish, with a home-built boat that was new and untested, one child already and another on the way - but they were determined to complete an adventurous 18-month voyage from New Orleans to Venezuela and back. It was the voyage that made Calder the yachtsman he is today, a marvellous romp through the West Indies, seeing an unspoilt Caribbean, while learning hard-won lessons from direct experience - troubleshooting engines, kedging off shoals and reefs, and most importantly navigating Nada, a yacht that quickly became very much part of the burgeoning Calder family too. An adventure story and a colourful travelogue in one, Shakedown Cruise is a must-read for all who are curious about what it takes to become a cruising sailor or create an adventurous life, as well as those who are just looking to sail along with Nigel and his family.
