Do Dolphins Ever Sleep? covers some 200 highly interesting topics, some with the most astonishing answers to questions you probably wondered about or perhaps never thought of.
Why does a dinghy slid backward as we try to climb out? Why are cold seas green and warm seas blue? Why do barnacles attach themselves to boat hulls? When was the rudder invented? What have been the main steps in the evolution of sailboats? How does wind create waves?
These are some of the questions asked about the sea, the sky, wind and weather, ships, sailing, navigation and the life aboard answered in Do Dolphins Ever Sleep?

He is a passionate cruiser and during his many crossings of the Atlantic and the Pacific he asked himself all those questions and gives us the answers found after comprehensive research. Sally Bely, his wife, translated and adapted the book.
