What a former financial-services executive learned sailing the Atlantic solo.

It may be hard to make gingerbread cookies on a boat, but how about this gingerbread pan man?

http://bwsailing.com/cc/2012/12/05/for-the-hungry-crew-15/

While gingerbread men are traditional at Christmas, they can be really hard to make on a boat — it’s hard to roll out the dough and cut the men, and it can take forever to bake them if you can only fit 4 or 5 men on the small cookie sheet that will fit inside your boat oven.

Renee Petrillo packed up her home and husband, bought a boat and went cruising, despite having almost no experience in matters nautical. A sail of Two Idiots tells the story in an entertaining and engaging manner, while at the same time enumerating the mistakes made and the lessons learned in the hopes of helping a similar-minded person avoiding some of the pitfalls. I am sure it would be helpful to that target audience, but it is also a delightful read for anyone who likes cruising yarns, and what a refreshing change to read about sailing cruise where the woman in the skipper. -- Chris Doyle
