    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:

    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.

    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.
