Atention All Shipping is a good read too, one for by the fireside when there is snow on the ground. It is a chapter per Sea-Area and the author Charlie Connolly visits each one and tells some of the history and folklore relevant to each.
It’s not about sailing, or even Wayfarer sailing, but you have to maintain a balance, don’t you?
