This book is the chronicle of W.A. Robinson setting off on his 32 footer 'Svaap' from Panama, then taking two years to circumnavigate the world, during the interwar years.  It is a wonderfully written and diligent account, by a sailor who, although initially advertising himself as 'not a writer', goes on to produce the most wonderfully vivid and heartfelt story, that even now, a hundred years later, still stirs the soul to adventures beyond the West horizon.

After reading so many sailing books from the past 120 years I am starting to recognize certain authors who I had never heard of before starting the Mariner's Library who were giants within the sailing community a life time ago. One of the most commonly referenced authors from the first half of the 20th century has to be Weston Martyr, and the book everyone compliments is 'The Southseaman'.  Just learning whatever I can about the man, his adventures and the nature of his bond with the sea plus a quick reading of the opening few pages told me enough for me to know that we would be in for a great tale, told by a master storyteller.  I for one, am excited to hear for the first time an old, but fresh-to-me story, that was so inspiring and enjoyable to my own, long-gone sailing heroes.

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; of 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.

Since May 10th, the Race for Water team and scientists from GIS Posidonie have been on a mission to locate historical markers installed in the 1980s to monitor the evolution of Posidonia oceanica in the PACA region of southern France. Before making a stop in Nice for the United Nations Ocean Conference, they explored five sites between Marseille and Saint-Aygulf. In an exclusive report, Bruno Belloni and Patrick Astruch, scientists from GIS Posidonie, share their first insights : from key findings to their biggest challenge and greatest satisfaction, they tell it all ! -- Depuis le 10 mai, l’équipe de Race for Water et les scientifiques du GIS Posidonie sont partis à la recherche de balisages historiques installés dans les années 80 pour suivre l’évolution de la Posidonie en Région PACA.
