While I would not disagree about any of the great sailors above, I would have to say that my inspiration was Beth Leonard/Evans Starzinger since they epitomized the cruising lifestyle and wrote clearly about its' joys and its' "realities" and continue to do it as a cruising couple.
Beth's book "Following Seas" is one of my inspirational favorites and her Voygers Handbook is one of the most practical and well reasoned "how to" books out there.

Has anyone read her latest "Blue Horizons" that would care to provide a review?
