I've been reading "The Circumnavigators" a book that Jud may have recommended a few years ago. I found a copy in a used book store a while back. It's the kind of book you can pick up, read a few chapters and return to later on.

BTW, I spoke with our mutual friend, Barry, the other night. The sailboat is hauled and nearly put away and he's getting ready to start setting his gear in a couple weeks.
