About Me

My photo
I'm a reader who enjoys posting comments and recommendations about the books I read. You will not find a synopsis with my recommendations because you can just click on the book title for a link to www.goodreads.com for a synopsis and reviews by other readers. I prefer the 3 Reason format: the reason I chose to read it; the reason I liked (or disliked) the book; and the reason I recommend it.

Rounding The Horn: Being The Story Of Williwaws And Windjammers, Drake, Darwin, Murdered Missionaries And Naked Natives--a Deck's-eye View Of Cape HornRounding The Horn: Being The Story Of Williwaws And Windjammers, Drake, Darwin, Murdered Missionaries And Naked Natives--a Deck's-eye View Of Cape Horn by Dallas Murphy
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Murphy retells the stories of famous voyages around the Horn plus the stories of people who tried to settle in this area plus his own account of sailing the area with a small group. I believe it was Louis L'Armour who said an adventure is just one damn thing after another, and these are tales of adventure.
