A must-read

Some time ago, I was fortunate enough to sail with the Griffiths, and the crossing from Sausalito to Hawaii, and around about those islands became the adventure of a lifetime. For these three-time circumnavigators of the globe, it was of course, business as usual. Their amazing book, a store house of a lifetime of sailing the blue water, chronicles their unique, self-reliant approach to managing nature and all the unexpected challenges She can throw at one. Beyond that it is a beautifully written paeon to their love of the sea. Even for me, a landlubber by trade, it was the most seductive encounter I've ever had with a passion truly felt. Read it. And then see if you can resist its pull.
