Reviews
Skip Novak takes us to the high seas providing technical wisdom, wonderful adventure stories, appreciation of nature and a philosophical narrative about the special joys of visiting remote regions. Novak's writing is easy to read and his prose makes you feel like you are on board with him on his voyages. This extraordinary collection of articles is an important treasure for every sailor's library., "Skip Novak takes us to the high seas providing technical wisdom, wonderful adventure stories, appreciation of nature and a philosophical narrative about the special joys of visiting remote regions. Novak's writing is easy to read and his prose makes you feel like you are on board with him on his voyages. This extraordinary collection of articles is an important treasure for every sailor's library." -- Gary Jobson, editor-at-large, "Sailing World" and "Cruising World", former President of US Sailing "In all of maritime history, there is no one like Skip Novak. Skip's writing is like the man: disarmingly modest, wryly funny; written from an unrivalled empirical knowledge not only of the sea and sailing, but also of the literature of the sea. Stories you might have heard if you'd been lucky enough to meet Captain Cook in a pub." -- Peter Nichols, author of "A Voyage for Madmen" and "Sea Change" "You won't put this book down! Skip Novak is the ultimate sailing adventurer - a modern day Magellan, an Obi-Wan Kenobi/Dumbledore-like character whose opinions, wisdom and insights will glow like flaming coals in the imagination of any sailor. Perusing this compendium is like being given a key to the ultimate hall of sailing knowledge - with deep links to centuries of nautical tradition with a modern day twist - the world where Skip sails." -- Peter Isler, Chairman of American Sailing, navigator of the winning yacht in two America's Cups, author of "Sailing for Dummies", "Skip Novak takes us to the high seas providing technical wisdom, wonderful adventure stories, appreciation of nature and a philosophical narrative about the special joys of visiting remote regions. Novak's writing is easy to read and his prose makes you feel like you are on board with him on his voyages. This extraordinary collection of articles is an important treasure for every sailor's library." -- Gary Jobson
