Throughout history, humankind has been going to sea in boats and shipsfor the purposes of trade, exploration, transport, fishing, and pure enjoyment.The Little Red Book of Sailing Wisdom contains some of the most moving, perceptive, witty, and inspirational words ever spoken or written about the sea-faring life.
