That book is a fun read, Chuck: not a long read.sounds about right for dilapidated wooden schooners of yesteryear.maybe even this year
_____ From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Chuck S Sent: November 26, 2013 7:51 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Stus-List Sailing book for a winter's read Jack, Your idea to suggest a book is a good one for this list and this time of year. Hopefully others will make suggestions? A sailing book I enjoyed and would recommend is: The Boat Who Wouldn't Float, by Farley Mowat, 1969. A funny story about a guy buying a dilapidated wooden schooner from Nova Scotia, dealing with constant leaks, booze smuggling, heavy drinking, and eventually sailing her to Montreal, with man y funny episodes all along the way. The book yeilds no help for do-it-yourselfers, but is simply fun to read.

He did a lot of sailing because he didn't have a choice. Jack Brennan Former C&C 25 Shanachie, 1974 Bristol 30 Tierra Verde, Fl. _____ No virus found in this message.
