About This Item

.UK,8vo HB+dw/dj,1st edn.FINE/NFINE.No owner inscrptn but dw/dj price-clipped.Colour photographic dw/dj which seems to have the top third slightly sunned/faded also affecting the print of the title.I may be wrong though,as dw/dj spine/backstrip seems okay and uniform! Contents bright,tight and clean.Foreword by Sir Alec Rose.UK,8vo HB+dw/dj,1st edn,241pp includes b/w maps,b/w tailpieces,b/w illus in text,all by author. Ronald Preedy leads the sort of life many people just dream about - he sails yachts for a living.To be more precise,he delivers them to places as far apart as Scotland, Spain, Martinique and the USA,so that over the years,he has come across a multitude of owners and yachts in different locations and weather conditions.In this varied collection of sixteen stories,he recalls some of his memorable journeys.These include his near-fatal encounter with the October 1987 hurricane,off the coast of Spain,when his 36-ft Biscay Ketch was tossed around by 65-ft high waves and gale-force winds.He also gets a taste of the world of 'Miami Vice' when, on a trip from Barbados to Florida,his boat is searched by fully armed Bahamian police officers who mistakenly suspect him of drug smuggling.But these dramatic incidents are off-set by many lighter ones, often caused by the yachts' owners themselves.The young London bus driver and his decrepit boat or the wealthy property developer cum rancher provide amusing reading and contribute towards a collection of tales that will fascinate and entertain the yachtsman and layman alike.
