The first is to sail from one port to another for the sheer delight in reaching a definite place. The joy of seamanship, navigation, and life on board is in itself complete. Shore interests, peoples, and scenery do not come within the scope of the man who elects to adopt this method. He is the counterpart of that other yachtsman, made famous in a certain nautical novel, who regarded the shore usually as a nuisance and convenient only for the purpose of replenishing the ship's stores.\u003cbr\u003e        The other plan, however, is to sacrifice none of the pleasures of sailing, but to add to these all the interest which can be derived from the people and the places visited. The shore is to be regarded not solely as a tiresome necessity, but as affording contrasts to the life on board with manifold delights in the customs of the people and the scenery through which one passes.\u003cbr\u003e        Each of these methods is capable of being carried out by the keenest of partisans. But for the benefit of those who peruse the following cruise it may be asserted at once that the second of the above methods was followed.\u003cbr\u003e        I have again to thank my sailing mate, Mr. Norman S. Carr.\u003cbr\u003eE. Keble Chatterton.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents:\u003cbr\u003eChapter I. Introductory\u003cbr\u003eChapter II. A Chapter of Accidents\u003cbr\u003eChapter III.
