"This was one of the best books I've ever read! They really should make this one into a movie somehow. I never knew there were women aboard sailing vessels. And whole families! I was not only entertained, but I learned a lot from this book."
"This was an excellent book, combining the author's wonderful research with excerpts from journals and letters written by the "sister sailors" themselves. I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in nautical and/or women's history."
