Melanie grew up on her parents’ 47’ GulfStar, cruising up and down the East Coast and through the Bahamas for nearly twenty years. She’s crewed, she’s captained and written all about it in her books as well as being a regular contributor to Cruising World (her Short Story column ran in the magazine from 2006 to 2009) and BoatUS magazines, and as a freelance editor. She now runs Sunshine Cruising Yachts in Florida.
