Merry Christmas to all. My birthday follows Christmas shortly, and I wanted to ask my wife to get me a great book on passagemaking. I'd like something more about voyages and experiences than a how-to book. I'm still young and working to save up for a boat. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks, Matt

I just enjoyed "The Wanderer" by Sterling Hayden (It's about his life and also a journey to the South Pacific... he was an actor...I enjoyed him in the Godfather) Also enjoyed "Maiden Voyage" by Tania Aebi an 18 year old who circumnavigates.
