I have a mild interest in the sea and a similar interest in trivia, so this book should have been mildly entertaining. We asked the publisher if we could see it because we thought it might be the sort of book which would make a good Christmas present, but I didn't expect to be bowled over by it.
If you are a sailor we can recommend Ellen MacArthur's autobiography [[Taking On The World]].
