Capt Joshua Slocum is famous amongst sailors for his single handed circumnavigation, West around the world between 1895 and 1898. No one had ever completed such a voyage alone and Slocum's book about his adventure became an instant classic, compared by some to David Henry Thoreau's 'Walden'. The real life character behind the myth, was and still is very much a mystery only compounded by the fact that Slocum went back to sea in 1909 and was never heard from again.   This incredible book takes us on a unique journey, meeting people who knew the Capt, not least three of his children (then surviving in the 1950's) and his wife, Hettie, then in her nineties.  There are many books about Slocum, but to me, this is the one that answers the most questions, and clarifies at least some of the burning questions about why this man, before all others, should be the one to take on, and succeed, in the heretofore impossible.  In the final chapters we also learn the details of Slocum's last departure and begin the discussion on where the Capt was headed on his next great adventure.

If you are a solo sailor, a racer, a cruiser or even a dinghy sailor.... you  should know who Sir Francis Chichester is. Basically, he is the guy that proved to the world in the 60's that you could sail solo around the world without stops. He did stop, just once and only because he wanted to, but very soon afterwards the Sunday Times in the UK created the Golden Globe; the first ever Solo, Non-stop Around the World yacht race in 1968 and the rest is history. BUT, this was not the first of Francis Chichester's adventures, nor his last and in this book, The Romantic Challenge, we discover Francis just a few years on from his successful circumnavigation, looking for something else in sailing that will whet his whistle in the same way the circumnav did.   What he choose to do was to challenge the concept of sailing 200Nm per a day, a big feat for even modern computer-designed cruiser. At the time in the early 70's it was a far away goal to most sailors except those who remembered the Clipper ships . As was his style, he chose to add greatly to the difficulty of the undertaking, by laying forth a goal of completing this high daily mileage on not one or two days, but for five! He drew a 4000Nm line across the Atlantic and challenged himself to complete 1000Nm in five consecutive days. Meaning every single one of them would be required to be over 200NM.  It was a quantum leap in the psychology of performance around sailing and we are lucky that Sir Francis's style of writing allows the reader to get under the skin of the endeavor and really see inside the mind of a master mariner at work as he wrestles with the task.

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/ If you would like to support this podcast, which is published for free, five days a week (Tues-Sat) please follow the link over to Patreon, where you can join our community and for $5 a month gain access to loads more exclusive audio books recordings just like this one.

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.

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.

I came across an octopus out on the reef. Such fascinating creatures to observe.

Using satellite charts has the great advantage of better position accuracy over many traditional marine electronic (or paper) charts and they normally do not have un-surveyed less traveled areas on the ocean like electronic charts have sometimes. BUT it could be a grave mistake to believe that all obstructions are showing up on satellite charts. As you will see in this video of a blind breaker in Papua New Guinea, near Manus Island. Filmed in February 2025.
