BOOKSTORE.SELFPUBLISHING.COM - Mighty Merry Too

"Mighty Merry Too" is the small boat that our very own Mary McCollum sailed solo across the Pacific Ocean after celebrating her 60th birthday. Much more than a sailing book she tells you how she followed her dream and hopes her adventures will inspire you to follow yours too.

Whilst I too have enjoyed (amongst others) the Tristan Jones books, be aware that they are not true. TJ was something of a stranger to the truth - apparently there's some animosity regarding his claimed war-time naval service from those and the decendents of those who really were there, but hey, the shall we call them exaggerations certainly spiced up the books which no doubt helped the sales figures.
