Hi Wonder if anyone can help me. There's a book that I have been trying to get hold of called [A?] Hitchhikers Guide to the Oceans [of the World?]. Gives advice on how to find yachts needing crew etc. I'm considering doing a spot of crewing around the Pacific but need all the info I can get. Unfortunately (well not so unfortunately!) I live in New Zealand and my local bookstore has not had any success in ordering it for me. The publisher (small American company) has not replied to their letter. So is there anyone in the States who would kindly see if it is available??? Obviously I'll pay for the book and P&P. Thanks Linda

I saw this book in Boat U.S. a couple of weeks ago and bought it out of
curiousity. A lot of the stuff in the book is common sense. I don't
have any real use for the book, so you are welcome to buy my copy. It
lists for US$ 10.95, but I may have paid a little less because I get a
discount. I'll have to check and see if I still have the receipt to
see how much I really paid.
In case anyone else is interested, but the details on the book follow:
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Oceans
Crewing Around the World
Alison Muir Bennett & Clare Davis
Seven Seas Press
P.O. Box 220
Camden, Maine 04843
ISBN: 0-915160-32-3
It was originally published in Britain by Adlard Coles.
