It's already been more than six years since I gave away most of my sailing books to a passing yachtie - click here - including the most treasured ones, three books by Bernard Moitessier, one of which I recently discovered at Vinnies again: "The Long Way".
I brought it home with me, and have just spent several hours sitting in the tree-house high above the Clyde River, in the company of this amazing Frenchman by reading "The Long Way" from cover to cover.
My sailing days are over but I can dream - and so can you: click here!
I would live to read his memoirs next, "Tamata and the Alliance", which is online at archive.org, but there's no wifi in the treehouse.
