Cruising Author at Book Passage

Frequent Changes in Latitudes contributor Wendy Hinman will be signing copies of her book Tightwads on the Loose: A Seven-Year Pacific Odyssey at Book Passage in Corte Madera on Sunday at 6 p.m. The book details her and husband Garth Wilcox’s cruise aboard their Port Ludlow, WA-based Wylie 31 Velella that wound up taking seven years and covering 34,000 miles. Wendy is a delightful person and any would-be cruiser — especially of the feminine variety — would do well to hear her speak on the cruising lifestyle.
