About the Author:

Gregg Nestor s sailing experience goes back to 1979 when he purchased his first daysailer, and has grown ever since. He is a freelance writer, and has written numerous articles which have been featured in several sailing magazines, including Sailing, Latitudes and Attitudes, Small Craft Advisor, and Good Old Boat, where he is a contributing editor. The inspiration for All Hands On Deck came from a recent sailing adventure though the Exuma Island chain in the Bahamas.
