About the Author
Liza is a lifelong sailor. An avid racer, she has completed in several world championships and offshore events in a variety of classes. In 1973 she married Andy aboard the classic yacht Ticonderoga and they have since sailed over 100,000 miles together, including a six-year circumnavigation in their Beneteau Bagheera with their three children.
Their world travels are documented in the Canadian best-sellers 'Just Cruising' and 'Still Cruising' and in the video 'Just Cruising'. She and Andy have also written the popular technical text 'Cruising for Cowards'. When not on the oceans of the world, or touring giving seminars on boating and travel, the Copelands live in Vancouver, B.C. where Liza writes books and magazine articles and Andy is a yacht broker.

The title says it all,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Comfortable Cruising, Around North and Central America (Paperback)
Liza writes in a fairly understandable language also for those of us who are not sailors yet, but aspire to be. This book gives a lot of geographical, historical, tourist information on many of the sites worth visiting along this route. Also good reference information in the back of the book. I intend to get some of Liza's other books on sailing such as Just Sailing and Sailing for Cowards.
