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.

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.

When I was growing up, my parents read me 'Swallows & Amazons' by Arthur Ransome.  That first book, and the series of adventure stories for children Ransome followed it up with, still to this day remain for me some of the most magical and endearing tales of my youth.

You can imagine then, my excitement at discovering a Ransome story here in the Mariner's Library that allows me as an adult and a sailor to connect with Ransome once again and discover that he also was a sailor. His stories perhaps underpin my love of the ocean, developed at a young age- it's wonderful at 45 years old to discover that he really did know his tack from his gybe, and had already done his hours at the tiller, 60 years before I heard his stories.

I have really enjoyed reading this story and I hope in turn you get pleasure from listening.  If you find that you like this authors style I would point you towards 'Swallows & Amazons' and the Arthur Ransome society in the UK  https://arthur-ransome.org/

When I was growing up, my parents read me 'Swallows & Amazons' by Arthur Ransome.  That first book, and the series of adventure stories for children Ransome followed it up with, still to this day remain for me some of the most magical and endearing tales of my youth.

You can imagine then, my excitement at discovering a Ransome story here in the Mariner's Library that allows me as an adult and a sailor to connect with Ransome once again and discover that he also was a sailor. His stories perhaps underpin my love of the ocean, developed at a young age- it's wonderful at 45 years old to discover that he really did know his tack from his gybe, and had already done his hours at the tiller, 60 years before I heard his stories.

I have really enjoyed reading this story and I hope in turn you get pleasure from listening.  If you find that you like this authors style I would point you towards 'Swallows & Amazons' and the Arthur Ransome society in the UK  https://arthur-ransome.org/

I had never heard of this book before finding it here in the Mariner's Library but 'The Cruises of the Joan' seems to have attached a lot of very positive comments from contemporary literary critics & sailors alike when it was released.

W.E.Sinclair has what commentators at the time refer to as  'a humble style in his approach to recording his voyages'. However, as his mileage increases with journeys throughout Scotland and round the British Isles, it becomes increasingly apparent that his delicately chosen prose is actually perfectly suited to allow even a reader 100 years hence to enter the story, share in the adventure and vicariously live through what promises to be some otherwise unbelievable adventures off the coasts of Iceland, Greenland and Newfoundland later on in the book.

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.

Although only a young man of 25 when he set out on this fabulous expedition in 1907, salt water clearly flowed in his veins and it is a real pleasure to be learning, 115 years later of the unique adventure he and his small crew embarked upon in a world that had yet to journey to the South Pole.

I would like the listener to keep in mind when enjoying this book that at that time in the early part of the twentieth century, the Kerguelen Islands far to the South of Australia, to which Capt du Baty was heading; were known as the 'Islands of Desolation'. To be frank, that was as good a name as any, lying as they did at the edge of the known world- just imagine setting out now in a fishing boat with five other people to sail, and then live at the edge of the world- it's almost beyond belief.

Truly, a wooden ships and iron men.

This is a book that I have never even heard of before I found it here on the shelves of the Mariner's library, and yet within just a few pages I have found Captain du Baty to be a kindred spirit who is able to capture effortlessly the thoughts and emotions of those who venture out on surface of the deep.
