Around the World in Wanderer Three

I've bought every book Eric Hiscock ever wrote, and read them all twice, Of all the sailing book's I have bought, his are the best. I can only say it must have been Eric's way with word's,But all the time I was reading, I really thought I was there with them both,It was a strange feeling when I had finished a book, I felt as though something was missing out of my life. We lost a great writer when he died. Has anyone out there, whose read Hiscock, Come across as good a writer, I'd like to know about them please! For people who have'nt read his book's, I strongly reccommend them all.

I am new to sailing and I found the narrative both educational and enjoyable. His anecdotes from 1952 transport the reader to a time before GPS and before the modern sailboat. His detail with regard to the construction of the boat and the payoff in bad weather is truly English(the writing is old). I cannot wait until my sailing adventures take me to some of the same exotic locations that he and his wife enjoyed over 50 years ago.

A classic "must read" true tale of sailing and travel at its best. Eric Hiscock made headlines (Englands' MBE in the '80's) with this '50's circumnavigation voyage that's still valid today. His descriptions of the people and places visited are unforgettable. This and his other sailing trips through the 1980's, accompanied by his wife, Susan, have made Eric Hiscock the classic author for all active and would-be sailors
