John is an old friend of mine. His daughters and mine were best friends growing up in Fort Lauderdale.
I can tell you he is just as entertaining in person, if not more, especially when he has a beer in his hand. For those who want to do more than read, he runs an adventure sailing business that can take you across the atlantic, through the Med, etc. He has a website called yayablues.com with more details. He also does boat show seminars that are well worth attending, especially if you have thoughts of bluewater cruising. Jack Brennan Former C&C 25 Shanachie, Bristol 30 Tierra Verde, Fl.

They are funny stories of his many sailboat deliveries. I am grateful to vicariously live his life of crossing oceans, sailing thru gales, from the comfort of a warm armchair. They instruct as well as entertain. In only a week, I rounded the Horn in Contessa 32, crossed the Pacific to Japan in a big ketch, and crossed the Atlantic several times, w stops in Bermuda, the Azores, Spain, the Mediterranean England even Germany and Sweden. I highly recommend these books to all: Cape Horn To Starboard Flirting With Mermaids Sailing A Serious Ocean Chuck Resolute 1990 C&C 34R Broad Creek, Magothy River, Md
