“The Annotated Sailing Alone Around the World” by Joshua Slocum, Annotated by Rod Scher
If there is one book that sailors say gave them the itch to take to the seas, it’s this book. This annotated edition gives comments, clarifications, definitions, and quips about Captain Slocum’s amazing solo journey around the world in the late 19th century.
For this one man to have done so much is just amazing. I continue to be inspired by him.
