Our son and I exchange books and I have read Joshua Slocums Book, Our son gave me to read: "Log of the Centurion" by Leo Heaps
Based on the original papers of Captain Philip Saumarez on board HMS Centurion, Lord Ansons flagship during his circumnavigation 1740-1744.
This is based on his daily logs, including food, or lack there of, how they acquired enough crew, weather etc, FASCINATING
We are truly a different breed from then! And they round Cape Horn which is a story in itself.
its an easy read and in paperback
