REVIEW FROM THE ABOVE SITE: Fantastic book. Captain Slocum is a famous "man of the sea" who sailed around the world alone about the turn of the 20th century. Not at all hard to read, especially if you like reading stories about the sea. BTW, there is an international Slocum society now, founded to support those who travel long distances in small boats: www.joshuaslocumsocietyintl.org
The
E-Books at eBooks.com are for sale. Here is one that is only
$4.99.
REVIEW FROM THE ABOVE SITE: Ostensibly the tale of his 1980 voyage across the Atlantic Ocean, Atlantic High is William F. Buckley's extended meditation on the pleasures of sailing and good company. Not surprisingly, as much thought seems to have gone into stocking the wine cellar as to charting out the route. It is an essay on appreciation, and a chance for Buckley to share his spirited point of view and exercise his unique sense of humor.

REVIEW FROM THE ABOVE SITE:
By J. J. & Peter Isler: There are more than 40,000 members of the
United States Sailing Association, and thousands of people take sailing
lessons every year. This accessible guide by two championship sailors
takes the mystery out of sailing–from choosing a boat, launching it, and
maneuvering under sail to charting a course, dealing with bad weather,
and docking–even for people who can’t tell port from
starboard. Use the search box at top of the
page you go to when you click the book to find this specific title.
