Thanks Mike,
I dug around on Amazon and found that book as well as another one
that came highly rated "Sea-Steading: A Life of Hope and Freedom on
the Last Viable Frontier" by Jerome FitzGerald. I'll order them and
see if they have the answers to all of my many questions. I'm sure
most of those sorts of questions get answered by fathers or uncles or
some other sailor/mentor. But I'm having to learn all this from books
or through hard lessons.

Hi David,
Along the lines of "The Complete Walker" and more like the "Whole
Earth
Catalog" is a fun sailing guide that I have from the 70's titled
"Sailing
the Farm: A Survival Guide to Homesteading on the Ocean" by Ken
Neumeyer.
It is out of print, but you can find used ones for sale at Amazon
Books.
The author lived for several years on a 30 foot sailboat in the
Caribbean
islands and has lots of useful tips about bartering, extended
storage of
food items, foraging, drawings of edible seaweed, solar stills,
medical
emergencies, etc. It is an entertaining read and really appeals to
one's of
adventure. It is not comprehensive, but it does contain a lot of
practical
information that I have not seen anywhere else.
Mike
