Book reviews:

  • Experience Southern Ocean survival as we review Tony Bullimore's book 'Saved'. This remarkable man was one of three competitors in the last Vendee Globe to experience disaster at sea.

  • The Perfect Storm: A modern maritime classic that has already attracted interest far and wide.

  • W.H Tilman's The Eight Sailing/Mountain-Exploration Books: This guy is a legend because he sailed to so many remote and high-latitude regions. And he was no young man at the time! The reader has much to learn from Bill's observations on everything from pack ice and 'water-sky' to  katabotic winds off the coast of Heard Island.

  • The Spirit of Rose-Noelle: After 119 days adrift off the east coast of New Zealand, author John Glennie has plenty to say. What makes this journey so remarkable, survival story aside, was the path of drift the upside-down trimaran took after its capsize. La Nina played a big role in making sure this crew made it back to land.
