This book is in many ways similar to many others in the same vein. Any book on any subject contains the personal prejudices of the author. With their history and resume, the Pardey's have a slant on cruising unique to their experiences and a prospective cruiser would do well to benefit from it. Don Street, Adlard Coles, the Hiscocks, the Roths and many others also have much to offer, enough so that I would suggest this book as one of many to absorb before setting out. Also, before accepting any particular opinion regarding heavy weather re heaving to vs running before, vs a sea anchor, educating oneself on the type of hull and it's behavior that one intends to use and then trying the method out before the extreme weather necessitating it is of extreme importance. A full keel boat with the mast forward will normally respond differently than say, a cutter with the same hull, and some fin keels won't heave to reliably at all, so find these things out yourself once you know which is which.
