"I first met her in Tollesbury and immediately fell for her. She
was an -Essex girl through and through but not like all the others,
although she was shallow. As far as I could see then there were
only two problems. There was a big age difference-fifty-five years.
She was born in 1904 and I was ten back then in 1959. None of this
mattered to me but the second problem would be trickier: my Dad
loved her too." So begins Nick Imber's affectionate account of his
family's love affair with the barge yacht Nan, who was to give so
much pleasure to three generations, across twenty years from the
1950s to the 1970s. We share Nick's childhood excitement on first
encountering Nan, his teenage pride in skippering her for the very
first time, and his quiet pleasure as his own children take to the
water in her. Nan took good care of them all; whether exploring a
peaceful East Coast river, braving a gale at sea, or drying out on
an idyllic Devon beach, she demonstrates that the humble barge
yacht has so much to offer the young sailing family.
For the past 12 years, Jo Winter has been cruising these waters in
her 45' Island Packet, Brother Wind, and she describes it as one of
the most diverse, beautiful, unspoilt and undiscovered sailing
areas in the world. The book covers thousands of miles of
coastline, a multitude of islands and inland up many of the
region's navigable rivers. Along with a comprehensive range of
information to help with planning a cruise in this region, the
introductory section details weather information, including
coverage of typhoons, and also indicates piracy risk areas to be
avoided. Sailing directions include small scale area plans to
orientate the navigator and larger scale plans to show details of
harbours and anchorages. Full colour throughout, the plans and
numerous photographs illustrate key features and places. Whether
transiting the region or planning a more extended cruise along any
of the coastlines bordering the South China Sea, this guide is an
essential companion.
Martin O'Scannall loves the old, the eccentric, the offbeat - the
quirky if you like; the wandering off into byways, the exploration
of half-forgotten snippets of history. And Galicia, his home for
the past decade or more, is ideal territory for indulging that
taste. Galicia is a time warp: rain-swept, isolated, savage and
gentle by turns, as far a cry from the blazing Costas as it is
possible to imagine. This book is a conversation with the past,
conducted in a very old, engineless gaff cutter, armed with the
Admiralty Pilot, a gallant crew, and a sense of the ridiculous. We
encounter, but in unexpected ways, the likes of Drake, Nelson, the
ill-fated HMS Serpent, Celtic myth and legend, and the
reminiscences of those who have gone before, all interspersed with
the business of managing an old yacht in the old way: Walker log,
paper charts and all. Beginning, as he says it has to be, with the
dreaded storm at sea.
Three hundred nautical miles from shore, I'm cold and sick and
afraid. I pray for reprieve. I long for solid ground. And I can't
help but ask myself, What the hell was I thinking? When Sue
Williams set sail for the North Atlantic, it wasn't a mid-life
crisis. She had no affinity for the sea. And she didn't have an
adventure-seeking bone in her body. In the wake of a perfect storm
of personal events, it suddenly became clear: her sons were adults
now; they needed freedom to figure things out for themselves; she
had to get out of their way. And it was now or never for her
husband, David, to realize his dream to cross an ocean. So she'd go
too. Ready to Come About is the story of a mother's improbable
adventure on the high seas and her profound journey within, through
which she grew to believe that there is no gift more precious than
the liberty to chart one's own course, and that risk is a good
thing ... sometimes, at least.
Since its publication in 1963, Sterling Hayden's autobiography,
Wanderer, has been surrounded by controversy. The author was at the
peak of his earning power as a movie star when he suddenly quit. He
walked out on Hollywood, walked out of a shattered marriage, defied
the courts, broke as an outlaw, set sail with his four children in
the schooner Wanderer--bound for the South Seas. His attempt to
escape launched his autobiography. It is the candid, sometimes
painfully revealing confession of a man who scrutinized his every
self-defeat and self-betrayal in the unblinking light of
conscience.

Pete Goss became a national and international hero when he rescued
French yachtsman Raphael Dinelli as his boat sank beneath him in
the round-the-world single-handed sailing race, the Vendee Globe,
on Christmas Day 1996. In doing so Pete scuppered his own chances
in the race but was awarded the Legion d'Honneur by France's
president and made a friend for life in Dinelli. Close to the Wind
is his own story of the race and its dramas, his revolutionary
boat, Aqua Quorum, his thoughts and emotions during four months of
solitude at sea, the extraordinary surgery that he had to perform
on his own elbow and the aftermath of the rescue in the Southern
Ocean.
