Reader Reviews:

Truly inspiring (17/17 people found this helpful)

This book was so compelling, I simply couldn't put it down. I've been a huge enthusiast of Frank and Margaret's sailing logs for many years. If you've read these other books, you'll love this.

In "Sailing to the Edge of Fear" the nature of the cruise from Florida to Canada touches on the changing seasons, coasts and people he comes across. If anything, I think that "Ocean Crossing Wayfarer" is the book that should have been called "Sailing to the Edge of Fear", as through his logs you get an insight into the mind-mashing terror of knowing that you could be about to die in an F9 gale.

The style of writing really puts you in that Wayfarer with him to experience every breaking sea, every red dawn, the icy cold nights on the floorboards, the improvised hot breakfasts of eggs mashed up with butter. If you're reading my descriptions of this and can't quite see the draw of such an experience, then it only goes to demonstrate Frank's ability to write about this type of cruising in a way that makes one long to try it.
