[EAN: 9781404345126], Neubuch, [PU: D.N. Goodchild at The Press at Toad Hall--Publishers of High-Quality Reprint Titles Since 1998], CRUISING STORIES AND SEAMANSHIP, Jacket, London came by his expertise in writing his sea stories naturally; he was himself a good seaman. In this book, he describes the decision to build a boat and and sail around the world thusly, "It began in the swimming pool at Glen Ellen. Between swims it was our wont to come out and lie in the sand and let our skins breathe the warm air and soak in the sunshine. Roscoe was a yachtsman. I had followed the sea a bit. It was inevitable that we should talk about boats. We talked about small boats, and the seaworthiness of small boats. We instanced Captain Slocum and his three years' voyage around the world in the Spray. We asserted that we were not afraid to go around the world in a small boat, say forty feet long. We asserted furthermore that we would like to do it. We asserted finally that there was nothing in this world we'd like better than a chance to do it." And so they did, and this is their story.
