The Mariner’s Library – Détails, épisodes et analyse

Often when I am reading books in the Mariner's library I am also hearing the story for the first time myself-  this book however, is different.

Shackleton's escape from Antarctica is a story very well known to me and, to be blunt, has nourished my very soul in my  darkest days at sea.

 There is no greater tale of seamanship, ingenuity, tenacity & loyalty- there are no greater heroes.

This is that tale, told by a man who's skill upon the ocean is perhaps only matched by his skill with a pen; the Master of the 'Endurance', Captain Frank Worsley.

If you would like to listen to more about sailing, the sea and regular discussions about safety & seamanship; check out The Mariner Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.

40,000Nm,  a circumnavigation of the world, completed double-handed, in a decked in, dug-out, red cedar canoe. The bare facts on the page already seem impossible.

There is only one sailor who holds a candle to Capt. Slocum, and that is Capt. Voss.

If you don't know who that is, don't worry, I didn't know either until I read this book. Now, I can't stop stop wondering how on earth he did what he did, and realizing once again, that modern sailing truly stands on the shoulders of giants.

I invite you to learn with me, the incredible story of one of the almost forgotten fathers of offshore sailing.

As I am a sailor, as I live in Nova Scotia, and as I am an Eric Hiscock fanboy, any book that can combine the first two and receive a glowing foreword from the third, has got to be OK by me. 

As is always the way when discovering the most amazing sailing book you have ever read, I am not sure where it came from- but it's either a gem from the original Mariner's Library as it was donated to me; OR is one of the many sailing books I am now vacuuming up from all the marina and club house launderettes I visit, as I succumb to the feeling of responsibility to  bolster the variety and depth of the Mariner's Library while it's in my charge! Either way, it appeared on my desk and one look at the words written by Eric Hiscock and I was hooked! 

As I read I discovered a wonderful narrator with a keen eye for not only the detail of life at sea but an ability to express what it FEELS like to be at sea.  The author's description of waiting out gales at sea-anchor in their tiny boat left me with clammy hands, as a hundred similar personal experiences were conjured to mind.

The fact that I had not ever heard of this boat, the authors or their incredible voyage further underlines how important it is to breathe new life into these archives of incredible sailing experiences and learning by converting these lost tomes into publicly accessible podcasts.
