Winter reading

[B~C]

Here's a good book "Skeletons on the Zahara" a true story of some sailers that ran aground in Africa in the 1800's...poor buggers where captured by the Arabs and made slaves.
If books aint your thing, here's a few boating web sites to while away the dark hours http://www.c-map.com/links/PublicationLinks.asp

B~C,

Thanks for the tip on that site. I visited it this morning and went to the Alaskan Fishermans Journal site and at the bottom of the opening page found my early morning entertainment in the form of a song on farm raised salmon. WELL worth the effort, Thanks.

Thanks Ken,

Great list! Thought I had it all. Just for that I'll post a site that I've found useful. This site will give the distance between two points designated by Latitude & Longitude.

A good read: “The Journals of Constant Waterman” by Matthew Goldman. This is a collection of 90 short tales about the boating that the author has done in his lifetime in sailboats, canoes, rowboats and other craft. Most of the tales are centered around the Connecticut River and nearby Long Island Sound, which will be especially appealing to those C-Brats that did the CT River gathering in 2007. This book is best read in small doses, a few short tales at a time. The writing style is usually light and often humorous.

The original post was made in 2004 so I suspect the site is gone or changed.

I was looking for the list of sites. As for you Charlie, I read a lot. In fact my ex-wife hated how many books I read, better then talking to her. I average 10 to 15 books a year. I don’t know if that is a lot. My whole family is readers. My low for a year would have been 6 books and a high of maybe 20. I have three going right now next to the reading station at home. How many books a year do people read? a roommate of mine in the corps only read one book after high school but never missed a copy 4x4 magazine. So how many books do you read? Also what is the most time you have read a single book? I'm thinking 5 for a story and 20 for a collection of thoughts.
