Letters from the Lost Soul
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
The author has a great sense of humour and love of living that comes through in his writing. The book is a bit like his "Latitudes and Attitudes" magazine, with lots of funny and intersting bits coming up all the time. A good read for anyone interested in boats and in cruising.
Letters From The Lost Soul

A very enjoyable read. Don't expect to learn how to sail heavy weather of trim your sails. This is simply a realistic look at cruising from someone who has been there. He is funny and irreverent. If you wear a blue blazer and speak without moving your lips, this book is not for you. Bitchin's book is an amusing look at a sport that far too many take far too seriously.
With a vivid eye for detail

Any interested in sailing and travel stories will find this engrossing, recounting the author's five years of adventures sailing some 45,000 miles to beautiful world spots. Few actually sail the world: the author and his wife observe crew, peoples and places with a vivid eye for detail.
Very Enjoyable Read...

If you are a cruiser whether armchair or out on the water this is an excellent book. Bob's writing style is sometimes irreverent and sometimes philosophical but always enjoyable. So, if you've ever dreamed of dropping everything and sailing off into the sunset.... this is the book for you.
