Bound For Cape Horn: Skills For Expedition Cruising - R. J. Rubadeau - Bog

Cape Horn is the ultimate cruising destination. Join a crew of skilled and veteran sailors as they step outside their responsible shore side lives and take up the gauntlet of a 16,000 mile passage to the ends of the earth. Their blueprint for expedition style cruising and the development of the survivalist mindset necessary to safely cruise Patagonia and visit Cape Horn is described in detail. R. J. Rubadeau is an award winning writer and lifelong adventurer with a passion for ocean voyaging and writing entertaining narratives of his journeys. Important lessons of the cruising life and shipboard laughs are spliced into a richly-seasoned chowder of experiences at the edge of the world. Come aboard.R. J. Rubadeau is one helluva good writer. Give him a canvas on which to paint something deep and broad--something like a long sea voyage from Maine to Cape Horn and something irresistible emerges. This narrative describes a special journey, and is a remarkable book: by turns funny, profound, instructional, conversational, insightful. It's terrific. Do yourself a favor.
