Crossing The Solent, Med And Atlantic Aboard A Small Cat.

The author commissioned the building of his Heavenly Twins 27' Catamaran in England. He then sailed her via France to his home in Florida. His voyage takes him through the French canals to the Mediterranean, and homeward bound across the Atlantic. Wilson entertains you with a fresh in-depth look at one of the great sailing routes of antiquity, vividly describing his encounters with nature, crew and fellow cruisers. His command of the language [The King's English] offers a light touch that makes for pleasureable reading. "Terrapin" contains a vast amount of practical information which should prove invaluable to anyone contemplating such a voyage -- or merely dreaming about it. In short, "Terrapin" is a delightful and informative book
