Beautiful, lyrical book by a siperb writer. I always assumed he was just a pilot, and never realised he was such a long serving and accomplished sailor.

Int he book he looks back over all of the craft he has owned that have captivated him, and their adventures together, all tied into his voyaging on Albatross, (of the film white squall fame, tho Gann had sold her by then)

If you love the sea, sailing boats and good writing, treat yourself.
