pickIn 1982, despite an absence of boating experience, Jonathan Raban decided to sail around England. Here he presents his travels on sea and stops on land in a snapshot from a different era. He also does a little random noodling. I enjoyed it.

This is the true story of a 16 year old boy who sailed solo around the world. A very inspiring story.

Let me say this... once I've properly started a book, I hardly ever DNF it.
Swallows and Amazons is the exception.
Also, I didn't really "lie" about Harry Potter 5... I read most of it, but didn't finish in time for the film. Then I just... didn't bother with the rest. It's still on my Goodreads "read" shelf though...
Shame on me!!!!! Shame!!!!
pickJune 1972. Attacked by killer whales, their forty three foot schooner sank in 60 seconds. They survived on a raft and then just a dinghy for 37 days. This is their story.
pickAnother series I'm rereading this year - absolutely LOVED the Swallows & Amazons books when I first read them, so I'm going through them again. This is the second book in the series, full of exploring, pirates, shipwrecks, mountain climbing, caves, and more! Every page was a delight.
Poem - Wandering albatross
The world is vast. The world is wind. The world roars.
She is the elements. The elements are her.
