If anyone enjoys reading about sailing, check Confessions of a long distance sailor. Another snapshot of the sailing world, in the eighties.

Another interesting read is Sailing the Farm. More a how-to and manifesto than travelogue, it's a quick read and an underground classic among off-grid liveaboard folks. Sad about the author!

The first chapter was so simultaneously self-congratulatory and also poorly written that I just gave up.
