[Lin and Larry Pardey are probably the most famous cruising couple in the world. Through their philosophy of simplicity and self-sufficiency, they have encouraged countless others to cast off the dock-lines and live a life of adventure, rather than to spend a lifetime thinking "some day…" Their books, videos and seminars have brought the dream of cruising down to earth, and their practical, hard-earned advice is treated by many cruisers as scripture. They've been there, they've done that, and they want to tell you how you can too.
