The Smart Sailor’s Notebook
Insights from the bridge. Truths written in salt.
Not a guest’s guide. Not a brochure.
A sailor’s survival map.
“After years at sea as a senior officer, I began keeping notes. Quiet ones — the kind born from watching too many guests make the same missteps, from knowing which itineraries turn dreamlike, and which merely look good on paper. The Smart Sailor’s Notebook gathers those observations: when to book, what to question, how to choose a ship that aligns with your soul. These pages were never meant to sell a cruise — only to help you sail it wisely.”
