Don Casey

Don Casey abandoned a career in banking in 1983 to devote more time to cruising and writing. His work combining these two passions has appeared in many popular sailing magazines. He and his wife, Olga, cruise aboard their 30-year old Allied Seawind. They like to point out that they've done all the work themselves with no adult supervision. Don co-authored Sensible Cruising: The Thoreau Approach and became the authority on boat fix-it projects with his book, This Old Boat. He is the author of a series of how-to books in the International Marine Sailboat Library Series. Don has also written Dragged Aboard - A Cruising Guide for the Reluctant Mate.
