Local Author Teams Up with Boston Yacht Sales' Open House at MacDougall's Cape Cod Marine Services

WINTHROP, MA May 14, 2012 (Press-News.org) Robin G. Coles, author, owner of TheNauticalLifestyle.com, and boating enthusiast will be signing copies of her book "Boating Secrets: 127 Top Tips to Help You Buy and/or Enjoy Your Boat" and answering questions on May 18 - 20 during Boston Yacht Sales' Open House at MacDougalls' in Falmouth, MA. Coles will sign and sell her book from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

"I'm thrilled to be participating in Boston Yacht Sales' Open House," says Coles. As Coles ventured out on her own journey to become a better boater she had lots of questions. What better way to get answers" Coles says, "than to interview the experts." It is Coles wish that every boater who picks up a copy of "Boating Secrets" gets just as much out of reading her book as she had in putting it together.

"Robin Coles has done a wonderful job of covering a comprehensive list of topics that will help new and experienced boaters get the most out of their investment" says Carl Blackwell, VP of Discover Boating and National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA). "Coles taps into many of the recreational boating industry's most experienced experts who will help boaters avoid many of the situations that inexperienced boaters could find themselves in. A boat is a significant investment of one's time in an era where free time is much harder to come by."

Coles agrees boaters already know buying a boat is one of the most challenging things they'll ever do in their life and it's an awesome way to include both family and friends. Not to mention, all the fun they'll have out on the water. But, there are lots of other things boaters should know."

Boating Secrets: 127 Top Tips to Help You Buy and Enjoy Your Boat makes a great reference book and gift. "Anyone seeking to purchase a new boat or intending to buy a larger boat" says Leo Corsetti, Retired, Tone (Tartan Owners Northeast) President, "should have Robin's book in their library."

Coles' book will not replace any classroom instruction, but promises to entertain through the use of amusing stories. This book is for both power and sail boaters.

The book is available at online booksellers. Autographed copies are available through TheNauticalLifestyle.com only.
