Sailing Adventures Conbert H Benneck

How one becomes a sailor. It starts in the bathtub. Progresses to learning how to row a boat, paddle or canoe, sail model sail boats, and gradually learn how to sail on larger boats. It's a logical procession from smaller boats to larger boats as your experience and your knowledge grows. This book shows you, how sailing is a completely different sport because the older you get and the more experience you gain, the wider your horizon becomes. You start sailing on lakes and locally in the ocean but then you start making longer and still longer trips until the whole world lies before you. It is a sport that allows you to start at any time and continue enjoying the sport into your old age. It is not a question of physical strength, physical fitness or speed, it is a game between you, the weather and the ocean that you use to your advantage as your knowledge improves. Adventures sailing in Germany; Holland; and going from Rotterdam to Paris via inland waterways. Further adventures in heavy traffic at night in the Seine in an incoming 26 foot high tide. Deciding to buy a sailboat again. Considerations, possibilities, and decisions leading to a purchaseThese are the experiences of a man which lived his life on the ocean
