Sounds good. I'll put it on my list. This is a repeat from this site of
information about books. The website abebooks.com is very good source of
used books. It lists holdings of thousands of used- book shops and and has
many books on sailing. I have just begun to read sailing books, most of
them recommended here. Of the several I have read, best are Robert
Manry, "Tinkerbelle" (of course), Tania Aebi, "Maiden Voyage," and Gerry
Spiess "Alone Against the Atlantic." Manry's and Spiess's books are tiny
boat sagas of delightful tone. Aebi's book gives an account of her
around-the-world voyage that makes the less adept sailors among us feel that
perhaps even we might be able to muddle through.
