About The Author
John Rousmaniere, one of America's leading nautical authorities, has logged more than thirty-five thousand miles of blue-water sailing, all of it thoroughly recorded. He is the author of The Annapolis Book of Seamanship and Fastnet, Force ten (Norton) and is host of the Annapolis Book of Seamanship Video Series.
Reader ReviewsJohn Rousmanire is the Mick Jagger of writing about sailing but with more grace. My wife and I found this log to be perfect for our gentle overnight excursions and coastal cruising, even if we didn't keep rigorous track of every measurement Rousmanire provides for. We used the extra space for diary entries, and at some point will be able to review some fine memories (and count up our sea-time if we ever want to go for licenses). Now my grandchildren are being introduced to sailing and have started a copy I gave them. The illustrations and brief quotations on each page from sea lore, poetry, and wisdom are just right for conveying the romance of sailing for fun. -- Chris Cory
