The Sailing Mystique: The Challenges and Rewards of a Life under Sail

This is a delightful collection of sailing stories which Bill Robinson has culled for a lifetime of writing about boats and the sea. Starting with his observations on the rewards and challenges of sailing, he takes us from the early days under sail through many wonderful cruising and racing adventures; he describes the boats in his life and along the way we also learn quite a bit about yachting history. Favorite cruising areas the world over are described and some very special cruising memories are shared with the reader.
