Subject: [world-cruising] Women on the Water

Hi, everyone...
I've been mostly a lurker here for 2 or 3 years, I guess -- my hubby and I
live aboard in the Pacific North-West.
I'm sponsoring a project this summer, and I need to do a little 'research'
which I'm hoping some of you might help me with. We constantly hear from
women that cruising/living aboard/boating is more their husband's idea of
fun, and they either 'go along' with it -- or not. (Hence heartache, broken
dreams, sold boats and even divorces....) And it's obvious that there are
very few women 'going it alone' - cruising/living aboard, etc. (Oh, I know
there are some, but in percentages? Negligible, I suspect!)
So ... what I want to know is this: women, what are the barriers, to you,
to enjoying the lifestyle as much as your partner does? or even more
specifically, what stops you from cruising alone? (I know the obvious
answer is that you have a partner, thankyou very much .... but what if you
didn't? would you do it alone? if not, why not?)
And guys, what do YOU think are the barriers to women enjoying cruising as
much as men do .... either with you, or by themselves?
Any and all answers much appreciated!
Marilyn G.
