Critical Praise:

"This anthology of Herb's best writing is a perfect mix of racing stories and cruising tales, tragic failures and comic encounters. No journalist can spin a story better than Herb McCormick." - Jimmy Cornell

"The stories are vintage McCormick - hilarious, poignant, rollicking and absolutely beautifully written." - Bernadette Bernon, consulting editor, Boat U.S. Magazine

"What I treasure most in the book are the warm portraits of friends and friendships ... and [McCormick's] exuberant ability to render on the page the life of a veteran wharf rat and expert sailor." - Jonathan Raban, author of Passage to Juneau, Coasting, others

"What happens out there, over the rim of the world, almost always results in some kind of epic story of human aspiration, be it achievement or the tragic unraveling of a dream. No one now writing about the sea appreciates this more acutely than Herb McCormick." - Peter Nichols, author of Sea Change, A Voyage for Madmen, others
