Your next one should be the background Music you use.
I find your taste in music very eclectic. Which one of you chooses the cuts?
Thanks for that info.
Why havn`t you linked to an Amazon account so that your followers who buy off Amazon can benefit you each time they purchase.
I believe that you would get a small amount with each purchase made when linked to you.

The French are renowned offshore sailors, and they have a highly structured system to ensure sailors are suitably qualified for their planned activities, and this book provides a thorough insight into detail provided by the Glenans school... I mean, do you know of any other reference work which includes a topic such as "maintaining morale in a liferaft"?

If I can suggest a couple myself, I would add Calders How to Read a Nautical Chart. With electronic charts being the norm these days I find it amazing how many sailors in my area (coastal) just have no idea what the charts are showing them or how the chartplotter is displaying or, and more importantly, not displaying it. This guide is a reference guide and good for review every once in a while, but packed with useful information on extracting the details from your charts, whether paper, in guide books or electronic.
And, for the sailor that doesn’t take themselves too seriously or simply needs to laugh at themselves once in a while I’d recommend Ed Robinson’s, Poop, Booze and Bikinis. It’s a quick read of very real stories and situations that every yachie has experienced and put in a way that makes you laugh out loud at yourself on every page turn. I leave this in the head or take it out with a coffee or beer after I’ve finish a miserable job on the boat to remind myself why I love boating so much or when I need a chuckle. Warning, it isn’t child appropriate and non boaters (sail or power) may find the material off putting or a turn off.
Thanks again...love your guys.
Ours is now called Desmond.
Told him that it was you guys that were responsible for it.
Take care both.
One other to consider, although you have Peter Bruce's book, Storm Tactics by Lin & Larry Pardey
Cool factoid: Many of the audiobooks are produced by Blackstone Audio. BFD, right? Well......Blackstone Audio is located in the small town of Ashland, Oregon which is home to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. Being seasonal, there isn't much work available during the off season for these wonderful actors and actresses. So, off season, they create wonderful audiobooks. Not dry, boring reading...but, audiobooks where you can close your eyes and see each character and locale in your mind's eye.
You've got my e-mail. Let me know if there is any specific titles you would enjoy.
Anything by Nigel Calder is a must. Charlie Wind, Don Casey too. The Dashews write excellent cruising books. Chart#1 is a must have. Bowditch. Hal Roth, Patrick O'brian and Jack London for fiction... and don't go to sea without Brian Toss... But one thing I would say is that all of those should be in Kindle format, although I don't believe in standalone kindles anymore as you can read it on your phone, your pad, or your computer. But as you say, somethings need hardcover. Jamie, Liz is a lot like my wife I think... competitive to the bone. Don't try to beat her at her game.... loosing proposition mate.
