If you want to know "why to cruise," Bob's writing does just that. He shares the fun in spades. Enthusiasm should be his middle name. And that just might be what every potential cruisers needs, enthusiasm, a sense of humor plus some of Bob's determination.

Bob Bitchin's books are a delightful exploration of the boating lifestyle, and his personal transformation from biker to boater shines through in his writing. I have personally read all his books, and I can certainly speak to his reputation as an accomplished author in the boating community.

The Sailing Life put me right in the middle of one adventure after another and I couldn’t put it down. I was sailing from island to island, feeling the wind blow, picturing the salty characters, seeing and feeling the waves crashing over the bow, tasting the food of the different cultures, feeling the rush of a new port of call, and regaling in the immense beauty of the sea and islands.

Nobody writes like Bob Bitchin. He has a style all his own and always captures the essence of sailing and life. Bob can make you laugh until your side aches and then dazzle you with one crazy adventure, or misadventure, after another.  His books are just like him, big, bold, always accessible and full of hope.
