Book Description

June 30, 2010
This is a "how-to" book, packed with information to help you go beachcruising and/or coastal camping, no matter what your level of expertise may be. This book includes everything you need to know about selecting a beachcruising boat, where to beachcruise, how to make camp, what gear to buy, and more, including how to go cruising and camping at low cost. Ida Little has beachcruised and coastal camped full time for 20 years (in a variety of boats) and has observed what other cruisers and campers were doing. She shares her knowledge and adventures with you. In this book, "beachcruising" means cruising a small boat along a coast with the intention of camping ashore. Though it is possible to use 50-foot schooners to go beachcruising, this book focuses on small sailboats that are light enough to be lifted or rolled ashore, and sailboats under 30 feet which are designed to dry out flat on an ebb tide. This book elaborates upon the unique aspects of camping that apply to boating.

5.0 out of 5 stars A "must" for kayak, canoe and day sailors who want adventure!, April 17, 2008
By 
Janice Marois "janice142" (cruising, eastern seaboard) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Beachcruising and Coastal Camping (Paperback)
I was pleasantly surprised! This book is set up for those who kayak, canoe or day sail and it is BRIMMING with information suitable for those folks. It's got tons of practical "been there/done that, wish we'd done this" sort of information.

Let me put in an aside -- I bought this a few years back and referenced it many times over. It is incredibly detailed, easy to read, and informative.

Another nice touch is that the editor has also added his notes to the book (in italics) so we get not just the author's viewpoints but expanded, added detail from another experienced individual.

This book feels like a friendly guide... like you're sitting around a campfire shooting the breeze with friends you've just met and sharing details on what works well for you, what you've tried and found not-so-great, and what you'd do differently next time. And yes, there definitely will be a next time!

I would definitely recommend purchase (it's that good) and though out-of-date (re prices of items) it's still WELL WORTH it as an informative tome. Anyone who has thought of cruising on a tight budget can actually have fun. Let this book be your guide -- I've never seen such a compilation. It's the best!

Think Voyaging On A Small Income but for folks who aren't quite that rich! When the authors take off for a weekend, a week, a month or more, they are using a canoe! Small boats can do wonderful things -- it doesn't have to cost your right arm and first born. This book will tell you how to do it, what to bring, what to leave at home, and give you a head start on cruising.

Buy it -- you won't be sorry.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Beachcruising and Coastal Camping (Paperback)
Definitely a worth while book if only for the ideas it gives you about how little is enough.

It is dated and I'd love to see something in the same vein and current for day sailors and small overnighters.

This review is from: Beachcruising and Coastal Camping (Paperback)
Some of this books information is slightly outdated. However, the vast majority of the information is timeless. It is a good book that details a bit of the adventures they had beach cruising while providing excellent tips on how to do it yourself.
