The definitive guide to a critical, hotly debated topic
How should a sailor cope with storms at sea? Some advocate
heaving-to, others running off. Some say trail a sea anchor over
the bow, others a drogue astern. The stakes in the discussion
couldn't be higher, or the consensus lower. Finally, preeminent
sailor/author Hal Roth offers a practical strategy that can evolve
and respond as storms grow stronger.

The Inside Passage to Alaska, with its outer fringes and entailments, is a very complicated sea-route. Parts of it are open ocean, parts of it no wider than a modest river, and it has been in continuous use for several thousand years. Its aboriginal past - still tantalizingly close to hand - puts the inside passaged on terms of close kinship with the ancient sea of the Phoenicians and the Greeks. This book is much more than a book about a sea voyage; it is about Jonathan Raban's journey home to his father who is dying; about his crumbling relationship with his wife and also about the historical journey of the maddening Vancouver in his search for the North West Passage.
