Six books by Frank Cowper

I’m presently reading part 2 and loving it, you can omit the sailing directions if you wish and go to the “Gossip” chapters.
Read “Jack all Alone ” as PDF , it’s great stuff.
Have you read “Up the Creek with Old Harry?
Google Books has Jack-All-Alone, and likely others:

Thanks for the intro to a new author
It is on it’s way to you. It contains essential words of wisdom for yachting folks. Concise and easy to read – pocket book size easily fits in somewhere. Useful study material while in the bog. Ta Da.
