Has anyone read "first you have to row a little boat" by Richard Bode? It is one the the best books ever! Not really an adventure book but a great read.
I starts out " When I was a young man I made a solemn vow. I swore I would teach my children to sail. It was a promise never kept.
The exigencies of life-money, work, location, and health-kept me from passing on to my children this legacy which I deem to be the essence of myself. I feel as if I have left something unsaid which I ought to have said, something undone which I learned as a boy, and I failed to pass it on to my sons and daughters, who will now fail to pass it on to theirs."
Well anyway, I'm tempted to read it again, just after reading the first paragraphs. I highly recommend this well written book!
