Good for dreaming!

We received this book as a gift after crossing the North Atlantic in our own boat. It was intended to inspire us to keep going, which we seriously plan to do. It's not intended as a sailing reference, yet it does keep the dream alive with places still on the list. What's interesting is how many of the places we've already ticked off. The brilliant aspect of this book is the choice of legendary sailors whose opinions were solicited. I only wish that I had thought of this concept. It would have been a great opportunity to meet all the folks who inspired the dream to shove off in the first place.

very pleased

what a wonderful book to get started!!! my husband has read it front to cover and has learned many important points.
