Nice birthday present from my son -

Voyaging the Pacific
In Search of the South

Miles Hordern
Published John Murray
ISBN 0 - 7195 - 6159 - 0 (hardback)
ISBN 0 - 7195 - 6482 - 4 (softback)

Introspective, historical (on early charts, voyages of discovery, belief systems), bemusing, inspirational.

Of course, he did it in a Twister, but his boat barely gets a (marque-specific) mention, and it would be a good read even if he had done it a Benjenbav.

Many thanks for the wishes, but

Birthday was a while ago - son declared at the time what my present was going to be, but took a while to find a copy of the book for sale at a time which coincincided with having the requisite number of pictures of the queen in his pocket money account!
