"Having raced twice around the world myself, I can appreciate the stresses and trials that Jeff has endured traversing the Southern Ocean and rounding iconic Cape Horn. His writing conveys a great Corinthian spirit of adventure, and is a tribute to all the sailors that have dared this passage. In human history it wasn't so long ago that rounding cape Horn was akin to going to the moon, and many never returned. Jeff brings that spirit of adventure to the pages of this book." -Bruce Schwab, Around Alone Racer "Sailing around Cape Horn alone is not everyone's "Milk shake." I had decided to do it because after 60,000 miles of sailing ocean passages they were becoming too familiar. My wife Debbie and I had sailed clear of Ecuador and down to Peru. It was on that passage that I realized just how close to the Horn I was and realized I just needed to give it a "Shot." Debbie felt no need to try it so she volunteered to become my shore side support. Now most people don't realize the problems of going West to East around the "Horn," and I was one of them. With nearly 45-years of sailing experience under my keels and Sailors Run a 40ft. Baba Ketch, I felt confident that the 5,000 NM passage was doable. What I did not know is that the worst storms occur in the summer season. I also learned that the Humboldt Current runs up the coast of Chile at nearly two-knots. The wind also comes up from the south, so you must set sail from Peru heading SW and eventually you will end up 1,000 NM off of Chile (at 45 South) before you can start your run in towards the "Horn." You experience a severe low just about every three days with storm force winds. Anyone who thinks going West to East is easy, best try it before they make that claim. In this book, you will not only experience what it takes to sail in the Southern Ocean, but you will get an in-depth look into the life of a sailor who had to overcome insurmountable "road blocks" to live out his dream, a life of freedom upon the sea.

In 1984, a landmark expansion of the Sport Fish Restoration (SFR) Program was signed into law that set in motion unprecedented improvements to recreational boating access across the United States. These new provisions (collectively named the Wallop-Breaux amendments after their Congressional sponsors) capture the portion of the federal tax on gasoline attributable to recreational boating and distribute the funds to state agencies for the development or renovation of facilities that improve the accessibility of waters to recreational boaters. In 2008, acting director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) Rowan Gould requested that the Sport Fishing and Boating Partnership Council (Council) undertake an assessment of the boating access provisions of the Federal Aid in Sport Fish Restoration Program ..".to ensure that it continues to provide maximum benefits to our fishing and boating stakeholders." The Council formed an 11-member subcommittee for this purpose, which included members from state agencies and key boating-related constituencies as well as others knowledgeable about boating access programs and needs. During 2008 - 2010, this Assessment Subcommittee worked closely with state agencies and Service personnel from around the country to assess the effectiveness of the program using the following guidelines: Is the program meeting its legislative intent? How well is the program performing? Are there redundancies in the program (what does it do that it might not need to do)? Are there deficiencies in the program (what should it be doing that it currently is not)? This report details the results of that assessment.

There are over 45,000 kilometres of navigable rivers and canals in Europe. That is more than a global circumnavigation's worth of inland waterways to explore. Over one third of these are In France and the Netherlands, where much of the finer inland cruising is found. This book will lead the reader in discovering the better ways to enjoy these waters. The book draws from the knowledge and insights gained through the author's half century of boating experience. It is not a "How To" book, rather it is a look at many of the things that are possible. It is profusely illustrated with over 950 photographs and maps, which add depth and clarity to the narrative and give the readers a better understanding of the day-to-day life while cruising the rivers and canals of Europe.

True Life Adventure: Against all odds two brothers, Ralph and Bob Brown, attempt to cross the North Atlantic Ocean unescorted in the smallest powerboat, a twenty one foot open fishing boat (without a cabin or keel), with sides less than a foot high. It is a low budget voyage without the benefit of even enough money to buy insulated boots, waterproof gloves, or full body dry-suits. They left without enough money to even pay for the gas required to make the trip, let alone get back from Europe when and if they got there. They make city stops often during the day to attempt to find more sponsorship forcing them to travel often at night when it would be more dangerous and cold. They battle huge waves from two hurricanes, almost run out of fuel, and freeze as they pass by hundreds of icebergs and see thousands. The water temperature is around 55 degrees F. off from Maine and drops to 35 degrees near Greenland. During book I, the wind gets as high as 35 mph and when traveling over 35 degree water, makes for a bone chilling ride. In Book 2, the winds reach as high as 65 mph where even the chop is higher than the sides of the boat. Their voyage was and is dedicated to promoting Wounded Hero Foundations. The major sponsor is "I Am Second," which means "God is first." Part I is from Florida to Greenland. The voyage takes them along the East Coast of the United States and Canada before making the 625-mile leap to Greenland for a total of over 4,000 miles in only the first book. 288 pages and 88 pictures

In 1935, at the height of the Great Depression, two Canadian Inuit fur trappers ordered the largest private sailing ship ever delivered to be used in transporting their annual catch of fur to Herschel Island on the MacKenzie Delta in exchange for the supplies that they needed to survive another winter hundreds of miles north of the Arctic Circle. Three times she did not make it into port in time and was frozen solid into the ice. This is the story of one of the most historic ships in Canada, who under three owners faced many challenges including; holding land at the entrance of the fabled NorthWest Passage to protect Canadian Arctic Sovereignty, was used in sail-training for Inuit, surveyed the controversial B.C./Alaska border and was chartered to search for mermaids off of the Aleutian Islands. North Star of Herschel Island is now a familiar sight on the Victoria, B.C. waterfront and a regular participant in Classic Boat and Tall Ship Festivals. In 2005 she represented her country as the Canadian GoodWill Ambassador in an international gathering of Tall Ships. This is the true story of a remarkable ship and the people who have known and loved her.

The fog is just beginning to disperse after sunrise but this is not a problem for navigation because you are just going to follow the western shore. You are the first person in when the gate opens at the West Bay Park and your hand launched vessel slides effortlessly into the water. You are off. You pass a tiny Island 50 yards from the launch. Islands no matter how small always excite my mind. The island is perhaps 20' wide and has one small stick like tree growing on it.
