Product Description
Seasoned by Salt is the fascinating account of a one-year cruise, from Connecticut to Grenada and back, undertaken by a sailing couple. The book alternates throughout their complementary voices as they relive their journey. They are not your average tourists. Their story is brimming with humor and high adventure, and reflects a deep understanding of the history, people, and economy of the many islands that they visited.

Seasoned by Salt: Where are the missing pages? December 8, 2009
B. Adams (Discovery Bay, CA USA)
Seasoned by Salt:
I purchased the book for my husband to read on a trip, but when he got to the chapter, "Going to Foxy's" (a popular beach bar/restaurant in the BVI) he discovered that pages 117 to 148 were replaced by a repeat of pages 85 to 116. He said it was a great book, and wished he had all the pages.
 Seasoned by Salt October 18, 2009
Douglas Tachi (Orlando, FL)
There are two books in Seasoned by Salt - Jerry's book and Anne' book. Each one contributes to the overall experience of sailing the dream that many of us have. Being an academic, Jerry's book sometimes flounders in invisible footnotes that divert our enthusiasm from the adventure at hand. We are, at times, forced to navigate the geopolitical contours of the Caribbean rather than feeling the trade winds in our sails and finding the right words to make this experience come alive for the reader. Anne's book is more immediate, touching emotions that describe the event allowing us to view the journey through intimate eyes. I would trade hearing more from Anne and less from Jerry's lecture prone prose of "The Politics of the Caribbean".

Excellent book about sailing the Caribbean. The story is an honest tale about husband and wife taking a year off and sailing together. The history given about the islands is very interesting and insightful. I wish this book kept going- I absolutely loved it. If you enjoy reading books about sailing the Caribbean don't let this one pass you by.
Wonderful adventure for anyone who dreams of offshore sailing! August 27, 2009

A budding sailor (with my husband), I am constantly devouring sailing-adventure books to fuel my dream of one day sailing the Caribbean or beyond. Having read many such books, Seasoned by Salt especially touched me, as this couple with seemingly no appreciable offshore sailing experience took off from Connecticut, all the way to the southernmost Caribbean on a several-month journey. From page one, I was hooked, as I entered their colorful and wonderfully well-written adventure of successfully overcoming uncertainties (Will any equipment fail? Will we get used to the large ocean waves?) - and vicariously living their experience of turquoise waters, beautiful islands, and the deep camaraderie that runs through the offshore sailing community. Whether you dream of sailing of into the sunset one day, yourself, or simply love a great a book about someone who achieves such a dream, Seasoned by Salt is a definite 5-star read!
 Not a sailing book August 13, 2009

Arrogant Yale law professor and equally annoying wife whine about the South, conservative thought, etc., while onboard their sailboat. They could easily have written this book from their office.
