We are already running out of space in our bookshelves on s/v Honey Ryder. But Cupid and the birthday fairy teamed up to help us out with a special techno gift to combat this problem... Cap10 Tom got a Kindle for Valentine's Day/Birthday come early. It's been 24 hrs and he has already read 65% of his first book - a sailing book of course!
What sailing book? I just downloaded "True Spirit" to my iPad -- it's Jessica Watson's book. She's the Australian girl who sailed alone, unassisted around the world -- and made it.
ReplyDeleteOh, and you can get Joshua Slocum's "Sailing Alone Around the World" for free on Kindle.
ReplyDeleteFree Joshua books - check. I downloaded True Spirit several weeks ago but haven't started it. I also found a few ebooks written by cruisers (Spice Necklace, Life on a Rock, Simply Sailing) and just finished reading Chasing teh Horizon by Cap'n Fatty Goodlander.
