![]() "The Smolenski's" wrote in message ... What's your favorite Sailing book Mine's Sopranino by Patrick Ellam and Colin Mudie It's a narrative about a 20 footer crossing the atlantic How about yours??? 'Racundra's First Cruise' by Arthur Ransome, the author of the enchanting children's books about sailing - the Swallows and Amazons series. The book details the author's experiences having a yacht built in 1921 in Riga, Latvia, and his cruise in the Baltic to Estonia and Finland and back to Riga. The book is worth owning if only for the opening sentence, which I have remembered all my adult life: "Houses are but badly built boats so firmly aground that you cannot think of moving them." Best, Q. |
