It’s not essential to be super-cool and in the vibe to enjoy this book – but if you have aspirations in that direction, download at once. Suzanne van der Veeken has used her own experience to write – and crowdfund – a practical guide to hitch-sailing across the Atlantic. It’s a highly organised and helpful book with routes, ports, websites, even some of the bars where you should hang out or go dock-walking to find your ‘ride’. Clear-thinking and attention to detail make van der Veeken’s work potentially useful to any captain or crew member preparing for an ocean passage. Her passion for conservation and sustainability offers insight to a ‘vagabond’ lifestyle that is also socially responsible.
