You will not be disappointed by any of Randy’s books. Love what you do at Tugster.

Molly, thanks for visiting and commenting. Sounds like I need to get a copy of Chasing Sunsets. We just finished reading Arthur Ransome’s We Didn’t Mean to Go to Sea and bought Swallows and Amazons.

I checked out your website for the Lodge in the Valley of the Moon and we are packing our bags!

Thanks again for visiting and commenting!

What a lovely way to spend the day with “the little people”. I was drawn to your blog by the heading of this particular post (Sailing and Books). I am always looking for books to give my husband. I suppose I am hoping that it will fulfill his wanderlust for sailing again, or most possibly to gain a personal comfort in the idea of taking the family cruising someday soon! Which takes me back to children and sailing… and books.

I purchased Lawrence Pane’s book Chasing Sunsetsfor my husband for Father’s Day this year. It chronicles the 6 1/2 years of circumnavigation with his son and wife. Max has been reading tidbits of the story out loud to our 11 and 9 year old daughters. They have been questioning him non-stop to retell accounts of his own single handed adventures on his 32′ Beneteau Roxy. That slippery slope of conversation always ends with “and why did we sell Roxy”? (mind you, they are all looking at me when asking that question. sigh)

Thank you for your list of books. I will keep them handy for the next gift giving event. I also want to thank you for the information about Patagonia’s Voice Your Choice. As a leader of a Girl Scout troop, I am working hard to connect my girls to local conservation and environmental education groups. This is one more contact to pursue! I am lucky to be located in the Seattle area, which seems to have a plethora of resources.
