A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

All Hands on Deck tells the story of three teenagers living in the Caribbean. They refurbish and abandoned sailboat and set out on a series of sailing adventures. In 60 pages, the reader becomes part of the crew and helps make decisions resulting in the potential for dozens of such adventures. All Hands on Deck is akin to a board game in book form. Seamanship points are earned along the way, thus making the book educational in nature by surreptitiously teaching sailing concepts. To enhance the educational nature of the book, a glossary of sailing terms is included. Reviewers comment:"... strikingly illustrated...""... really fun... ""... a children's book that adults will want in their libraries."

Biographie de l'auteur :

Gregg Nestor's sailing experience goes back to 1979 when he purchased his first daysailer, and has grown ever since. He is a freelance writer, and has written numerous articles which have been featured in several sailing magazines, including "Sailing," "Latitudes and Attitudes," "Small Craft Advisor," and "Good Old Boat," where he is a contributing editor. The inspiration for All Hands On Deck came from a recent sailing adventure though the Exuma Island chain in the Bahamas.
