"Greg Becker's Seagoing Hitchhiker's Handbook is an encyclopedic guide to obtaining crewing positions aboard voyaging sailboats that combines copious research with Becker's own first-hand experience. In addition to useful lists of visa requirements, sailing schools, and marinas located along the best-traveled cruising routes, Becker also offers more subjective advice that aspiring crew would do well to heed--advice about the social conventions in the typical captain/crew relationship that to ignore could end in serious complications.
This is a useful guide for anyone seeking waterborne travel across the world's oceans. With a few basic skills, the ability to sell yourself and this book in hand, it can be done."

"Consider yourselves lucky. If The Seagoing Hitchhiker's Handbook had been out fifteen years ago, there may not have been a Latitude 38."
