Thanks for pointing this out. Quite enjoyable but seemed a little disorganised; I couldn't see a logical thread either geographical or chronological which made it hard to follow at times.
Sadly, being a pedant, disappointed by McCarthy's failure to get the names right in the Lake District; Coniston Water being given as Lake Coniston and Windermere as Lake Windermere

There are much better books about AR's boats

I agree with both comments. But what I liked was hearing the voices of many being interviewed whose names I knew and who, in several cases and over several years, I'd corresponded with. They all sounded so damn' English...
