"The Things You Don't Know

Dear First Mate,
We've all seen them. Couples who have turned boating into an incredible dance, a sight to behold.
Even when docking, they seem to anticipate each others next step. They put on a wonderful performance, communicating with unspoken ease as they bring their boat expertly into the slip.
This is a couple with a First Mate and Captain who are in synch with each other. And, I'm happy to say, that's been my experience boating with my husband Doug for more than 40 years now.
As you'll read further down, the inspiration to write this book came about because of an an eye-opening and shocking experience when I attended a FirstMate course. From that experience, I knew that there is a sea of "reluctant boaters" who are deeply wanting and needing to know how to be a FirstMate.

Written For A First Mate By A First Mate
I've been in the boat business literally my whole adult life. When I married Doug, I married a man who is 5th generation in the boating business. Expectations were high that I would become an expert boater in my own right.
The Story Of A FirstMate Course
Gone Terribly Wrong
Earlier, I mentioned my shocking experience when I attended a FirstMate course. Here's the rest of that story...
Wanting to learn some neat new tips and tricks and meet other FirstMates, I signed up for a First Mate seminar being hosted by a local Yachting Club.
What was intended to be a First Mate course quickly deteriorated into more of a marriage counselling session covering such topics as "how to make a contract with your husband that he'll return to the dock if you feel uncomfortable."
From that seminar, which was almost all women, I realized just how many women are afraid when underway and want to turn back or are brand new to boating and feel like the proverbial "fish out of water".
When I got home, I was quite upset. I had gone to this seminar wanting to learn some neat tips & tricks; I didn't need a marriage counselling session!
After reflecting on my experience in that room, I came to the realization that these women weren't First Mates at all! They were guests! When asked to hand the fenders or pull the halyards, they didn't know what to do and were barked instructions.
What was upsetting me was that I knew these women could easily become confident First Mates and be a full-fledged partner in boating.
In fact, with the right information, these women could become the on-board experts on how to enjoy boating—teaching their husbands a thing or two about boating!
You've probably heard the old joke: "men who get lost will keep driving around trying to find their way while women will stop and ask for directions". Well, I don't know if that's totally true or not, but I do know that those who ask for directions get there faster!

Just The Information You Need
To Get Your Sea Legs And Be
A Confident First Mate.
This book is so much more than how to be a First Mate.
- Claim your place on board and be the kind of First Mate who knows how to "dance" with their Captain.
- maximize the limited space on your boat.
- Keep ice for 11 days in a cooler.
- Dozens of innovative tips on how to store everything from food, equipment, bedding, furniture to all the other comforts of home that you want to take boating.
- Work together with the Captain to dock your boat safely, confidently (and without yelling at each other!)
- Work the ropes— the anchor, bow line, stern line, spring lines, tow line and even rafting lines (and know what the heck all of those lines are!)
- Present yourself as that incredible couple to the others in the marina. (sure beats being exposed as a "newbie")
- Learn what the correct "boating etiquette" is when docked in the harbour.
- manage and store canvas to keep it long-living and quick to put up and take down (great for when bugs come!)
- how to deal with the unique challenges of preparing meals on board and turn meal time into a special time
- deal with the bugs!
- a complete lesson on footwear (who would've thought!)
And much, much more
Brenda's First Mate 101 is easy to read and
understand and should provide a ready reference for any novice sailor.
In reality, there is only one CAPTAIN on board but Brenda's book emphasizes
the need and importance of a confident First Mate. "Brah Voh" Brenda.
First Mate 101 is a real life saver, confidence builder and cross-referencing
tool.
It has a wealth of 'hands-0n information. It is
hard to put down.
It encourages improvement of knot tying, is an organizational
tool and a real 'wake-up' call. I feel the need to hone my new found
skills.
