Books worth supporting

[Colin Wood]

My sister sent me a book for Christmas which I would like to see on all seafarers book shelves. It is called 'Surviving the Storms' and is a series of reports of lifeboat operations around the British Isles. It is published by and all receipts go to the RNLI. All very moving stories of and by those heroes who man our lifeboats.

Also received thelwell's Manual of Sailing, called 3 sheets in the wind. Some very interesting comments and diagrams and pictures, but do not think would have helped for 2nd mates exam in 1958.

Thank you Colin does sound interesting.
Here is a helping hand for all if they are interested, possibly there are many other sites as well, with better pricings ???
Cheers

There was another one on 'Three Sheets to the Wind' all about guys who had been to Delmonicos on the Cape Smoke.

#1... Colin a standing Lug and a Jib is all that was required in 1958. So John in Ozs 3 sheets in the wind and his ginger squares dont apply . Too many sheets one might say. JS
