Any sailors here?

I'm told my son-in-law wants a book on sailing for Christmas.

It's not a manual he wants (he's a naval officer and already knows the mechanics) but a novel/biography/whatever. Any suggestions?

I know it's a bit early for Christmas but he's posted in the States at the moment so I have to allow time get the book to him.

Thanks!

Dick

 

I am reliably informed that Bry is partial to semen.... Just saying x.

Hope that helps! :smile:

 

Good, I look forward to his suggestions but I hope he can spell better than wot you does :wink:

 

I have just re-read my previous post & i am pretty sure my spelling is 100% perfect & correct. Please advise if i have missed something though & i shall stand corrected..... There is a first time for everything you know! :wink:

I eagerly await your response....

 

The Sea Wolf,Lord Admiral Cochrane one of many books on this great sailor,regards Fraser

 

'She Was Only the Admiral's Daughter but she Always Kept her Naval Base full of Discharged Sea-men'? (Please note spelling)...

 

Well there really was only one way this thread was gonna go wasn't there....:tongue: At least fraser came up with a helpful answer :upyeah:

 

Thank fuck for that - so the rest of us are vindicated, then?

 

Yes, thanks Fraser, it's good to know there are some sensible folks on here :wink:

Sorry for my comment about the spelling. I didn't realise that you had that sort of relationship with Bry and I hope you are very happy together.

 

Wasnt mine helpful then?

 

Very useful, it's always nice to get an insight into the private lives of forum members. It's nothing to be ashamed of you know.

 

Thanks Fraser, that looks good. 5 stars in the reviews I read so I just ordered it :upyeah:

 

No problem Folkb:upyeah:loke
