520 | _a"There are more efficient, faster and economical ways to travel on the water, but none as rewarding as when done under sail. After many decades of being blown about, soaked, awed, teased and satisfied, each time i drop the mooring there is magic. For thirty years it has stayed fresh and new. Like a photographer who still gets a thrill out of seeing an image appear in the developing tray, it never ceases to lighten my soul when I realize that through cunning and skill I have tricked the wind into moving my boat. There is nothing like it. And that is what I hope to share with you in this book." | ||
