Speaker bio:

Wendy Hinman is an adventurer, speaker, and the award-winning author of two books: Tightwads on the Loose and Sea Trials: Around the World with Duct Tape and Bailing Wire.
Tightwads on the Loose tells the story of her 34,000-mile voyage aboard a 31-foot sailboat with her husband. It has been called a “cult classic,” admired for its unaffected style and refreshing humor, and named a Readers Favorite. Sea Trials details the harrowing round-the-world voyage of a family who must overcome a shipwreck, gun boats, mines, thieves, scurvy and hunger to achieve their dream. It’s a timeless story of grit and resilience. Sea Trials was named a Kirkus best book as well as a Foreword Review best book. As the Kirkus starred review describes, “her engaging narrative succeeds in capturing the thrills and frustrations of this intrepid family. Taking in remarkably far-flung destinations such as Christmas Island and the New Hebrides, this exhilarating book should appeal to any would-be explorer. Highly readable and sufficiently evocative to sense the scent of sea air in the pages.” Read the full Kirkus review here. (https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/wendy-hinman/sea-trials1/)

Wendy Hinman @Seattle Boat Show 2022

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT.
You can still view recordings of Seattle Boat Show seminars here: https://seattleboatshow.com/seminars/

*
Once again I look forward to participating in the Seattle Boat Show. I plan to present on Friday 2/4 and Sunday 2/6 and spend weekend days signing my books in the nautical bookstore booth up on the concourse.

Seattle Boat Show FEBRUARY04 – FEBRUARY12 | 2022

My Seminars will be:
Friday February 4, 2pm Cruising the Inside Passage through BC and SE Alaska * (Or watch online later with the show package.)

Cruising the Inside Passage through BC to Alaska: Wendy Hinman will share highlights cruising to Glacier Bay, Alaska and back. These remote cruising grounds feature natural phenomena like glaciers, waterfalls, and hot springs; as well as wildlife including whales, bears, otters and more; and a native culture like no other. Get a taste for the possibilities and how to make the most of the time you have to enjoy them. This talk will include favorite spots, tips for trip planning, an overview of resources available, and potential pitfalls to help you prepare.

Sunday February 6, 1pm Keeping Your Relationship Afloat *
(Or watch online later with the show package.)
Keeping Your Relationship Afloat: A happy crew makes for a happy voyage. Venturing off in a boat puts new pressures on even well-established relationships. Don’t let 24/7 start feeling like a life sentence. Learn techniques for addressing the diverse needs of a crew and dissipating tension aboard so that you can enjoy the places you visit and an unusual way of traveling there. Wendy Hinman, award winning author of Tightwads on the Loose and Sea Trials, shares the wisdom she gathered during her 7-year 34,000 mile voyage aboard her 31-foot cutter as well as years racing and cruising in all manner of boats with her husband and others. She discusses how to find balance in a small, sometimes violently rocking environment, while facing the new challenges that cruising can present and keeping a sense of humor. A happy crew makes for a happy voyage. How to balance diverse personalities and needs aboard.
