Podcast of sailing books from days gone by

[GHA]

Loving this!
The Mariner’s Library | a podcast by Chris Stanmore-Major
"The Mariner’s Library brings forgotten & obscure sailing books to life allowing them to pass on their hard-won knowledge to a new generation of sailors. Read by Round the World Yachtsman, Chris Stanmore-Major"

And completely hooked to his main podcast channel, this guy must be a bit scared of kryptonite!!

What a find, so inspiring ?
Some crazy tales of open sixties in the southern ocean and much more.
Always stuff to learn on boats, I like that he isn´t hung up on any traditions just cos but at the same time takes anything useful form centuries ago if it works. And also dips into physiological / philosophical aspects of sailing seldom mentioned. Like call the boat a She. Not because of any historical hand me down but because with some personification it will make you take a bit more care of her, that´s how our brains work.

The good old days, when Bikini was just an obscure atoll on our heroes' Pacific charts!

. . . and even the most prolific of them would clock up 2 or 3 years adventuring, a year's writing, and then a year getting printed and published between 'instalments'.
