My Old Man And The Sea

[davo]

A quick read about a father and son that sail around Cape Horn. They do it in a Westerly 23 and their achievement is marked as the first Americans to round the Horn in a boat smaller than thirty feet. It is written entirely as  journal entries made seperately by the father and son. It was a decent book, but the actual rounding of the Horn was not as treacherous as I had expected. It did offer some great insight as to what supplies are good to have for a long distance cruise. Many things never would have occurred to me. Lots of truly candid entries.
