for some old school adventure, the cruise of the snark by jack london tells the true story of his sailing the south pacific after he got famous. When you read how much his 38 foot? boat cost to build back then it makes you happy to live in a world full of old fiberglass boats. Then read Mark twains accounts in his book about sailing around the world on a steamer. Written within a few years of each other, but you get the distinct impression that Jack london would be a lot more fun at the bar. :O)
