First Paragraph
Every oceanographer's bookshelf should be graced with a few good sea stories, to maintain touch with reality. Tucked in among the Conrad and Melville volumes, perhaps snuggled up to an illustrated Coleridge, should be a well-thumbed copy of Joshua Slocum's "Sailing Alone Around the World." Few books send forth such a tangy breeze of salt air.
