On The Water – The Yachting Muse

Price: £16.99

This little book is a motley collection of excerpts from old favourites and obscure writings that takes us from Water Rat to Slocum, from torpid inland waters to raging storms, or from armchair to adventure. It is always difficult to decide on what to include and what to leave out of an anthology, especially when the author has not followed a theme. However it is all here whether you prefer a short bedtime read or a rather longer afternoon break, despite being rather a small book for its price. - Peter Flower
