I don't know if this 'book' has become widely known or not but I thought I would pass along a link.
James took Triton #384 around the world twice and he is now composing an online book about the first circumnavigation.
I have read a couple of chapters and I am finding it an interesting read.

Thanks Briton,
I'm quickly into Ch 2 and am loving it. I really enjoy Baldwin's relationship with sailing.

Oh, cool, I haven't been to see his pages in a while, so I didn't notice. Thanks for the head's up.
