Smooth cruising
p. 73 · Read in the full issue
Specialist magazines on the market have a pretty precarious life especially newcomers to the yachting and cruis ing market. However, one slim digest type publication to survive for at least a year, and recently brought to PlM's attention is Wind Vane. Called "the Bulletin of Seasteading, or Self Suf- a ficiency afloat” in the usual American manner of coining a special word for every activity. Wind Vane certainly lives up to its philosophy.
Cruising yachtsmen should find it in teresting and informative and compact enough to hang on to for further reference. Items in the January, 1977, issue include, "Do your own Haulout”, "Introduction to Sprouts", "Preserva tion of Fishery Products" plus items by the "Floating Doc" a regular feature well worth reading.
Obviously published on a shoestring without frills and few illustrations.
Wind Vane should prove to be a mine of very useful information to cruising folk. John Collins. (WIND VANE. Editor Jo Anna Brown 241 K West 35th Street, National City, California, USA.
