International book day

Just finished 438 Days by Jonathon Franklin, It’s about a El Salvadoran (?) fisherman adrift at sea for over 14 months. Survival at sea and long distance sailing are subjects that have interested me since I was a child after reading Survive the Savage Sea by Dougal Robertson. Love a good book, use audiobooks a lot whilst driving and never took to the kindle type ebooks. Still can’t beat actually sitting down, reading a book and getting lost in the words.

Have you read H.W. Tilman: The Eight Sailing/Mountain Exploration Books?

True stories of a crusty old character. Soldier, mountaineer, sailor and loner.
Cant think why he appeals so much.
