About the Author

Jim discovered the world of sailing in 1984 and hasn't slowed down since! He's sailed and cruised (There is a huge difference!) extensively all over the US coastal waters, the Bahamas, Canadian inside passage, and Mexico's Sea of Cortez! He's owned in-the-water sailboats and trailer-sailors... and he's cruised both types all over the place! When working ashore, Jim loves how sailing de-stresses his busy lifestyle. He also associates sailing with meditation and can think of no greater way to center himself with this wonderful universe we live in! Whether ashore or out cruising, Jim is always finding ways to improve the cruising experience! Jim's written extensively about the cruising life and self-sufficient cruising!

Jim B is an accomplished and recognized self-health / self-help expert!

Over the years, he'd let himself succumb to the American Industrial Food Complex and suffered the long-term effects of poor nutrition and diet. At the tender age of 58, he was diagnosed with a number of chronic and potentially fatal illnesses, including: perforated diverticulitis, major depression, stage II hypertension, type II diabetes, morbid obesity, and arthritis.

Jim B turned to sprouting, juicing, and healthy whole foods for solutions! Today he's over 100 pounds lighter! Fit! Vigorous! Takes NO prescription medications! All of his chronic illnesses are gone! He's sprouted at home, on the road in his motorhome, at sea in his small sailboat, visiting friends & relatives, and in hotel rooms.

Now, Jim B spends his time writing and sharing what he's learned about self-health and self-help! His game-changing new book, "Sprouting: The Beginners Guide to Growing Sprouts!", shows readers how simple, easy, cheap, and healthful it can be to improve health, vitality, and lifestyle!

This is a great book and easy to read!
I sat down today and read the whole book in a couple hours.
It contains great information for someone looking to buy a boat or someone who has one already.
It's helpful for finding deals on usually expensive things to save lots of money and enjoy boating more!

Mixed feelings about the book, I do know significantly more about used boat buying than I did before buying the book (which was almost nothing), but... I wish the book had gone into more detail on a range of topics (boat surveys? transfer of title?). Still an inexpensive book so conditionally recommended.
