Currently reading Dewey Lambdin. Not the easiest to read but his books are rapidly climbing to the top of favorites list. I also enjoy anything written by James L. Nelson. And there are always the traditional picks of C. S. Forester, Alexander Kent, and Patrick O’Brian. For a change of pace, I like Randy Wayne White’s “ Doc Ford” series and for a light quick read I go to original Clive Cussler books. Oh, and I shouldn’t leave out the Dudley Pope “Ramage” series!

Message-ID: <002101d14405$bc3db160$34b91420$@comcast.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" All, One of my favorite reads that involves sailing and boat building is Douglass Whynott's "A Unit of Water, A Unit of Time", which is a non-fiction account of the last boat built by Joel White at Brooklin Boatyard in Maine (the son of writer EB White as well as being a prolific naval architect). The book is a quiet book, best enjoyed in front of a fireplace with a few Benjamin Mendlowitz calendars and coffee table books available for reference photos of the various boats mentioned in the text.

Andrew, If you enjoy Sterling Hayden's Wanderer, look for a copy of his novel "Voyage". IIRC it is set in 1900 and begins on a dark and stormy night in Boston harbor. In short it is a story of a clipper ship hauling coal around the horn to San Francisco. For years I carried paperback copies of Wanderer or Voyage to read on offshore passages and never got tired of re-reading them.
