A cook's-eye-view of a typical windjammer cruise off the coast of Maine. It evokes the special ambiance of New England, the excitement of sailing a large vessel, the bracing salt air that sharpens appetites, and the groaning galley tables that are an essential feature of these vacations. The bountiful fare is cooked up on an old iron wood stove which takes special handling to operate.

A story line of a week's cruise, plus many, many recipes. Windjammer Cooking also contains a 16- page field guide to many of the New England Windjammers.
