Thanks for the tip, Vic. It's now on hold at my library. The one I placed
on hold was, "Two years before the mast, and Twenty four years after," I'm
assuming it's two books under one cover.

Same here. Just ordered a copy from Amazon. Been cold, raw, rainy and
gloomy all day here.
Gotta stock up with reading material for the winter.

Here's some great reading for a cold miserable winter.

start on.

This is extreme, and even with the latest of safety and weather
equipment, it lookslike a good way to get killed.

I can't imagine the guys doing this kind of stuff a couple-three
hundred years ago in the old sailing ships.


That's nothing. Absolute sissy weather. I remember a poster that used
to race his 2252 Bayliner in much rougher weather than that and he
never even got wet.....

Yes - But he is now the biggest - most referenced legend of
wrecked.boats. Next people will be singing songs about him. :-)
